Product Details
Vintage Industrial Metal Diver Sculpture Brutalist Found Object Art Brutalist Industrial Steampunk Mid-Century Modern Dark Academia Modernist Found-Object Art Hand-built industrial metal sculpture depicting a diver mid-dive, created from vintage found materials including spent brass shell casings, steel hardware, wire, and cutlery-style metal fins. The piece is mounted on a heavy square steel base and balanced on a curved metal arm for a floating, kinetic look. This is a one-of-a-kind artisan piece, not mass-produced.
