Artwork description
This etching depicts a boy swimming, followed by a fish. The image suggests a dialogue between surface and depth, between the visible act of swimming and the unseen world beneath. Water has long symbolized the unconscious — a boundless realm of mystery, renewal, and hidden life. In this sense, the ocean reflects not only its own unfathomable depths but also those within the boy himself. The work invites us to consider both the play of the moment and the profound currents of inner experience.
