Shifting mirrors

Two koi circle each other in an endless, flowing loop, bound by a motion they cannot escape.

Their paths are inseparable, each movement defined by the presence of the other, as if they exist only within this shared orbit. At the same time, they reflect one another, not as perfect copies, but as shifting mirrors that reveal both harmony and tension.

There is a quiet dependency in their dance, a sense that neither can continue alone, yet neither can fully merge. This duality became a driving force in the artistic process, shaping the composition through balance, repetition, and the continuous pull between connection and individuality.
