The power and terror of the moment are captured in this resin diorama, where a bloodied shark emerges from the water, jaws wide open, as the character’s form is trapped between the monster’s teeth. It’s a breathtaking representation of the primal danger lurking in the depths, where nature’s most lethal predator proves unstoppable.
