The Concept for this project came from a trip to Mexico that I took with my family. There is a rock formation shaped like an arch that is a big tourist attraction and connects the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez. The only way to get to the arch is by boat, and there are many glass-bottom boat tours to the area. The water is so clear and blue that it allows you to see deep into it, and to see all of the brightly colored fish. There are many other large rocks in the area, on which you can always find a few pelicans. Some even land on the boats.
My plan is to have a hinged form in the shape of the rock. The front will be chased and repoussed to look like the arch rock formation, with the water below it, and the back will have a chased and repoussed pelican with the water below it. The inside will hold brightly colored fish hanging from a chain. The form will be connected to the chain by cut out pelicans.
