Breaking the Surface depicts a rainbow trout surging upward to strike a fisherman’s fly, shattering the calm of the water in an instant. Carved from yellow cedar and finished with acrylic paints, the piece captures the energy of a quick, decisive strike. The contrast between stillness and motion highlights the trout’s grace and power, freezing a fleeting moment of action and precision.
