Ringo Floriana
“Wine-crate wood and gears reborn as a sleek, vibrant fish”
Ringo Floriana stages a meeting of sea and workshop. The wood still shows wine-crate lettering—proof of a first life—while a green metal shell stretches toward a serrated mouth like a fish about to strike.
Up close, textures emerge: sand-smoothed grain, hammered plates, bolts aligned like scales. The gear-eye anchors the gaze; thin rods flare into a dorsal fin that almost seems to glow.
From a distance the silhouette is crisp and tensile, poised between marine reality and mechanical fantasy. Here recycling is not a detail but identity: many trajectories of matter converge into a single gesture.
It speaks of second life, energy, and wit: what was discarded becomes a refined presence. At home or in an industrial setting, Ringo Floriana brings rhythm, substance, and a breath of the sea.
