Untitled 2

Within a calm, slate-grey pond, two brilliantly patterned fish tilt toward one another like interlocutors, their open mouths suspending the scene between song and argument. The composition is orchestrated by lotus pads and blossoms that press in from the edges, their velvety purples and cool greens creating a theatrical frame that both shelters and contains the encounter. Against the softened depth of water, the crisp, almost enamelled color feels deliberately unreal—suggesting memory rather than nature—so that the pond becomes a stage for intimacy, curiosity, and the fragile urgency of communication. The lotus, poised between bloom and bud, quietly echoes this threshold: beauty emerging from stillness, speech rising from silence.
