In my book arts, the book represents the communication that takes place where the individual makes their inner world accessible to others. The bottle represents a vessel of the body, and fish are the chaotic yet graceful movement of my emotions, rational thoughts, and memories. I was trying to mimic our emotional reactions to events and memories, which are always changing and moving like fish, and the fish are both an agonizing and a cathartic allegory for the possibility of change from the past to the present. As a child, I used to fill the bottles with colorful water, and imagined them as containers for my own good feelings.
