Description of the work:

The long-awaited summer festival that my grandfather takes me to once a year.
For me, the difficult journey to the summer festival was marked by a long line of people walking.
My heart is about to explode.
The attraction is goldfish scooping.
A handmade aquarium bigger than my body is filled with plenty of water, sparkling and swaying in the light of the lantern, making my eyes sparkle with excitement.
There was a large group of goldfish swaying back and forth in vivid colors.
Overlapping colors form a group.
It was a simple yet symbolic thing for little me.

I used acrylic paint. I minimized digital processing as much as possible to preserve the final impression I wanted. It was printed on B2 size, thick, high-quality matte paper. I used a protective fixative that protects the color and material for durability.
The subject of my expression is not superficial colors, shapes, or motifs, but rather "stillness and movement" as proof of life that lies within, and I hope that you will be able to sense a little of this "proof of life" here.
There is a sense of kindness and strength that should be grasped as proof of life, but I also hope that it will inspire thoughts in those who watch it.
We hope you will pick it up and enjoy it in your own way.

*The painting is intentionally not framed. We recommend hanging it on the wall or placing it on the floor, but we would like you to choose a frame that suits the image of the space in your room. For example, we recommend a simple frame with a white frame.
*Duplicates are possible as they are digitally output, but due to their rarity, we are limited to three copies.
