Wonder: No Matter How Small Your Boat May Be
Wonder: No Matter How Small Your Boat May Be
A whale rises through the night water. On its back, a small sailboat. Above, a crescent moon and stars. The ocean below is deep and full of things we will never see. The whale does not seem troubled by any of this.
The Work
Wonder is a 3D painting on glass from Jean-Pierre Weill Studios. The whale arches through the composition, the night sea layered in deep blues behind the glass, the small sailboat riding its back at the surface. Built in the studio's signature technique, the whale sits forward from the glass, the stars above it quiet and still. No matter how small your boat may be, life is rich. The world is a place of mystery. Wonder surrounds you.
For Anyone Who Has Felt Small in Front of Something Vast
That feeling is not a problem. It is the right response. Wonder is original ocean wall art for anyone who has stood at the edge of the sea and understood, briefly, exactly where they fit in the world.
Collectors drawn to the spirit of Wonder may also find that quality in Sailing, where two people navigate open water together and the horizon is the whole point, and in Friendship, where a small girl walks beside a large purple elephant and neither one questions the arrangement.
