Dylan Martinez’s Goldfish Water Bags are a mesmerizing fusion of hyperrealism and illusion, blurring the line between perception and reality. Crafted from meticulously blown and sculpted glass, these pieces capture the ephemeral beauty of a water-filled plastic bag, complete with lifelike ripples, trapped air bubbles, and a suspended goldfish that appears to be swimming inside. Martinez, who is red-green colorblind, uses his unique perspective to push the boundaries of glass as a medium, creating sculptures that challenge viewers to question what is real. Playful yet technically masterful, his Goldfish Water Bags are a testament to his expertise in manipulating optics, making them highly sought-after by collectors who appreciate both craftsmanship and whimsy.
