Original artwork description:

Koi fish are highly symbolic creatures, especially in Japanese and Chinese cultures. Koi fish are known for their ability to swim upstream against strong currents. This resilience and perseverance have made them symbols of determination, endurance, and the will to overcome obstacles. Koi fish are often seen as symbols of ambition and aspiration. Legend has it that if a koi fish successfully swims up the Yellow River and reaches the Dragon's Gate, it transforms into a dragon. This transformation is seen as a metaphor for achieving one's goals and aspirations.
