Utilising the ink techniques of cross hatching, line work, and stippling ‘Betta Dream’ captures a betta fish, also known as ‘Siamese fighting fish’. They’re usually forced to live in minuscule cups, small bowls, and even flower vases. Betta fish can experience frustration and depression. While most of them can be happy in a tank alone, their environment still needs plenty of enrichment, such as caves, plants, and room to explore.
Does this all sound familiar or similar to how we all felt during Covid Lockdown? Desperate to be stimulated past our 4 walls (or lga) that confined us, even though we were so grateful to be safe.
This piece resembles growth, the betta fish has grown extra ethereal fins, as though resembling a flowing veil. We have all grown something extra and stronger and have been able to appreciate our greater surroundings; water & loved ones with a lot more appreciation.
