Artist Statement:

When you view fish in an aquarium, don’t you feel as though you were swimming yourself? There are times when we imagine the taste to be delicious. Empathise with the dolphins, and their bray as they fly above the water’s surface. People who watch the males (and females) in the tank have it in their hearts. The ocean. (This happens with fresh water, as well.) When the idea is expressed this thoroughly, the water in your heart erupts. Always remember, the sea is greater. People who think this way are already in the water tank. And the tank is in the ocean. Do you feel it? More or less.
