114 Ocean Float 3 - If an object is less dense than the water around it, it will float. Because salt water is denser than freshwater, some things float more easily in the ocean. Inspired by glass net floats, this series speaks to the influence of the Japanese on Hawaiian culture. Each float reflects the ocean waves & depths in the bays & inlets surrounding the Hawaiian Islands & their variety speaks to the differences in light throughout the day. This gourd was painted and dyed before being completely sealed. Dimensions: 6 x 6" weight 8 oz.
