Description
Stephen Fairfield's Ask The Fish 2.0 statue in Roswell, Georgia, USA represents the fusion of natural and man-made. The fish symbolizes nature and creation, with the hand representing humankind’s dominion over the natural, yet still cherishing creation. The fish’s skin of holographic film diffracts light both day and night, shimmering and changing colors depending on the viewer’s position.
The inspiration for the sculpture came from a revelatory experience the artist had while walking in the high plains desert where he lives in Arizona near the Dragoon Mountains. Later, the sculpture’s explanation came from reading Job 12:8-10. What will you ask the fish?
Ask the Fish
Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you
And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the Lord has done this.
In whose hand is the life of every living thing
And the breath of all mankind.
Job 12:8-10 NKJV
