My artwork shows a parrot fish, a colourful sea creature that represents how wild and creative nature can be. I did not paint the fish in a realistic way. Instead, I used bright colours, patterns, and textures to show nature as something full of imagination and movement. The splashes of paint around the parrot fish show water, energy, and how the ocean is always changing. Each mark is different, just like animals in nature are all unique. The parrot fish looks like it belongs in a dream-like underwater world, where nature feels playful and magical. For me, nature is not only real places and animals, but also how they feel and how we imagine them. This artwork shows my idea of nature.
