About the artwork:

Inspired by 2 months spent traveling Asia, 'Coexistence' explores the theme of a journey of two souls navigating a shared destiny. Rendered in soft pastel, the fish represent two distinct lives intertwined within the same sacred space. Beneath them lie four coins, symbolising blessings in eastern culture; wealth, health & peace, love, and good fortune. Water serves as the canvas of their shared world. The ripples in the corner breaking the stillness, signifying shared experienced, a gentle disruption that illustrates the ripple effects of life and how external moments reshape their environment and reverberate through their own individual lives. Ultimately, Coexistence is a visual meditation on partnership, and the equilibrium of building a life together against the moving currents of time.
