Koi Jar Sculpture

It feels like a vessel that has learned to breathe water.

A rounded body, smooth as river‑worn stone, carries a painted world where koi drift in slow, unhurried circles. Their scales catch soft light like scattered coins, each movement a quiet ripple of gold and ivory. Lily pads hover above them, green moons on a blue surface that seems to sway even though it is still.

The whole container becomes a small, self‑contained pond — a moment of calm captured in colour. It looks as if, if you leaned close enough, you might hear the gentle hush of water and the whisper of fins moving through it.
