Original artwork description:

The watercolor depicts a flying fish — a creature balanced between fantasy and reality. Its body, fresh from the sea, with shimmering scales, still remembers the touch of salty water. The fish I saw at the fishing pier in Taiwan, just pulled from the ocean, seems to have come alive again in the painting — but now not as a catch, but as a symbol of flight and freedom.
Its wings — outstretched pectoral fins — are spread wide like sails. They are delicately translucent, tinged with shades of ultramarine, azure, and sunlit gold. The artist conveys a sense of lightness — it seems the fish is soaring through the air, as if it has forgotten it belongs to the sea. The background of the watercolor blends sky and ocean into one soft, fluid whole, with gentle transitions of color, like the water’s surface in a morning mist.
The fish is at the center of the composition, like a dream or a mirage. It carries both the precision of the real world — the anatomy, the scales, the glint in its eyes — and the softness of imagination: as if it brings a message from another element, where the boundaries between water and air are blurred.
This painting is a memory — a moment captured by the brush, where nature and imagination speak the same language.
