Gold fish are said to have a 5 second memory, or in broader terms a short attention span. Another way of looking at them is that they are the ultimate “zen” creature - not worrying about the
past or the future, but living in the here and now. This tongue-in-cheek self portrait as a goldfish, depicts me searching for inspiration & creativity, whilst trying to shut out all of the outside noise and distractions each of us face every day (represented here by the busy background).
