One of the fastest fish in the Ocean.

And the fastest shark…. Sleek, agile and cunning. Makos are considered extremely intelligent and able to critically reason, as well as having impressive social skills.

“Sadly, the shortfin mako has been targeted by sport and commercial fishers to a dangerously high level. Between finning and bycatch driftnet deaths, mako sharks moved from being “vulnerable” to “endangered.” This is an international decision that will go a long way towards reversing the decline in the numbers of makos and rebuilding the population. Despite the work of mako rookeries, the damage to the mako population is alarming.” - Tiffany Winn

These shadows can move and dance across the backboard when the piece is in natural light, like in a lovely bright room , but will look equally as good under spots or in any well lit space. Once evening comes the these pieces take on a whole new aspect as the metallic leaf radiates its own luminescence. .
