Being Koi dwells in the space between surface and depth, where roots, water, and light are inseparable and life moves in quiet, persistent rhythms. Swirling ink lines weave through soft washes of gold, violet, and sage, tracing the vitality of a world that sustains itself largely unseen. A single green lily pad rests in the lower composition, a reminder that what rises above is anchored in the tangle and resilience below.
