The Existence of a Fish

The Existence of a Fish

LibArt 2025

I recreated the three main components of the existence of a fish: the two physical aspects of the flesh and bone, paired with what I pictured the physical manifestation of the soul would look like. The three forms are on a rivet, meaning they spin out and can stack. The fish skeleton is cut out, so the soul or body can be seen through the other side when flipped. This mimics the predictability of the beginning and ending of life. The familiar stages of one’s existence: as one stage of life ends, the next begins, and the cycle inevitably continues. The kinetic concept of the trinity of a fish, the body, bone, and soul.
