About this artwork

Existence suspended in deep darkness, where the only evidence of life is the subtle breath of a creature drifting through stillness. This is no ordinary fish — it symbolises a fragile self, navigating a dense landscape of noise, anxiety and pressure. The surrounding seaweed-like forms represent intrusive thoughts or external structures that constrain yet shape the very space it inhabits.

The dark background absorbs light, while the silver leaf glimmers faintly — like a memory resurfacing, or a flicker of hope. The fish’s movement suggests a quiet yearning: toward calm, or perhaps escape.

This piece combines graphic precision with richly textured expression, offering a poetic reflection on vulnerability, stillness, and the act of witnessing.

The body’s motion in silence mirrors the soul’s search for light. This painting speaks of fragility drifting through tension — and the breath that continues, even in the darkest waters.
