ABOUT THE PIECE

A small figure rides an impossible creature through an open sky, somewhere between adventure and escape. The enormous goldfish — fragile in one world and powerful in another — carries him beyond the place he is expected to remain. The work is about trusting strange instincts, moving in directions that don’t always make sense to others, and the quiet courage it takes to follow your own path. There is uncertainty in the journey, but also freedom: sometimes the most unlikely thing beneath you is exactly what carries you through.
