Description
Surrealist drawing made with dry pastel and collages. The work represents a Japanese city with its huge buildings and brightly colored advertising lighting. On top are water lilies and a large Koi carp. The latter heads towards the hook of a fishing rod, held by a small character sitting at the top of a building. The title of the work is a play on words meaning that the city is a giant pond in which humans evolve and are ultimately just fish swimming in their environment.
