Artwork Description: Staring down at the koi swimming gracefully in the water, brings tranquility and calmness, amongst the chaos in this world. This artwork represents determination and persistence, during times of adversity. The resilience to swim upstream, through the treacherous current. And ultimately finding peace in the stillness of a pool. It presents perseverance within an individual.
