This study captures the combination of the surreal and realistic aspects of life; flora and fauna coexisting in an oceanic scene. The colorful ink smear represents a flow of life, an unstoppable energy that all livings possess.
The piece above represents the spiritual journey of finding the light and purpose in darkness when everything seems hopeless. In the current predicament with the world crisis, there seems to be no hope but there is always a silver lining and a way for life to bloom.
The contrast of darkness and colors emphasize that without gloom, there is no positivity. The guppies swim outward, following this lifeline that brings them toward positivity in the world. Guppies, highly adaptable beings thriving in many different environments, also illustrates that we all can adapt to plights and make the best out of situations. We must embrace the unknown to seek hope.
