The Equilibrium of the Stream

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

This vibrant work beautifully captures the concept of duality and harmony through the intertwined forms of the two Koi fish. In East Asian tradition, the Koi symbolizes perseverance and strength, but here they represent a perfect equilibrium of opposing forces: one rendered in cool, aquatic tones, the other in fiery, terrestrial hues. Set against the deep-black field, their dynamic, swirling motion is enhanced by the subtle sheen of the metallic acrylics tracing the blossoms and fins. The composition suggests that true balance is not achieved through stillness, but through the perpetual, active dance of complementary energies.
