This minimalist sculpture embodies harmony and purity of organic lines, offering a contemporary vision of a millennia-old symbol. The object is oriented vertically and defined by an ovoid shape gracefully narrowing towards the base, where its most distinctive element comes to life: a tail composed of two intertwined lobes in a dynamic twist, creating a sense of fluid and continuous movement.

The finish, a warm pale cream yellow, enhances the subtle wood grain, giving the surface a smooth and polished sheen that amplifies the elegance of the form. Each piece is a masterpiece of Val Gardena craftsmanship. Consistent with Dolfi tradition for works of this size (6 cm), the sculpture is entirely made of maple wood, a precious material from Val Gardena known for its compactness and the exceptionally smooth finish it can achieve, available in natural or delicately colored variants. This creation is the perfect expression of faith and contemporary design.

Iconographic and symbolic elements:
1) Fish: Primordial Christian symbol.
2) Smooth and sinuous surface: Evokes fluidity and inner peace.
3) Object to hold in hand: Promotes meditation and concentration.
Religious significance:
The fish is one of the earliest and most significant Christian symbols, representing Christ himself (the Greek acronym IXTHYS - Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter - Jesus Christ Son of God Savior). Its shape and tactile sensation promote spiritual reflection and relaxation, connecting the user to faith.

The fish, a primordial symbol of Christianity, has its roots in the early Christian communities, who adopted it as a distinctive and secret sign. The Greek acronym "ICHTHYS" (fish) concealed a profound meaning: "Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter" (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior). This symbol, engraved in the catacombs and on early artifacts, allowed persecuted Christians to recognize each other and profess their faith in secret. Its diffusion is also linked to the miracle of the multiplication of loaves and fishes, narrated in the Gospels, which symbolizes the abundance of divine grace and sharing. The fish thus became an emblem of salvation, faith, and belonging to the Christian community, a constant reminder of the figure of Christ and his message of hope.
