Materials: Sterling silver (whale, bolts and backing), 9ct gold (sand), titanium (sky), acrylic (sea) and copper (whale eye). Titanium heated to create sky effect. All components (as shown in supporting photo) cut out by hand using jeweller's saw and polished before assembly using 4 hand-made bolts.
