Description:

Would you empty the pond to get to the fish? - “Koi in a Glass Pond” is inspired by that question.
In Japanese, "koi" is a homophone for 恋, another word that means "affection" or "love", so koi are symbols of love and friendship in Japan.
I think its Love and Affection that cuts its way through the muddy pond of daily life, while boldly mingling with the monotony of living. So would you empty the pond to get to the fish?
Sometimes, I find the need to remind myself… that God would not part the Red sea only to let us drown in a fish bowl.
