Aquarium2000 176.5×205.5 cm
A school of fish swimming around together, an isolated fish in the same space, and the external world reflected on the water and the glass. Various scenes overlap in the picture. This is an abstract world where time and space are changing, and the painter let his imagination run free in this work.
