ECHOES OF PASSAGE

Oil on canvas, 35×50 cm

In “Echoes of Passage,” two koi circle one another in a fluid, silent dialogue; mirroring the eternal dance between fire and water, memory and motion. They are not mere opposites, but reflections; each bearing the subtle scars and luminous traces of their journey. Their paths curve with grace, never colliding, always complementing; like day and night in their quiet exchange.
This painting speaks to the tension we carry between what we remember and what we are becoming. It suggests that balance is not found in stillness, but in rhythm; in the
willingness to move, to release, to respond. As these koi weave through their shared waters, they remind us that life’s harmony is born from contrast, and that true growth often whispers through the echoes of where we’ve been.
