A Fish Out of Water 2
This layered digital collage captures the tension of displacement with a tactile, swirling unease. Dominated by overlapping elliptical forms that evoke both the motion of scales and ripples in water, the composition is a vortex of muted greens, teals, and siennas—like a landscape seen through silt.
The repeated text “A Fish Out Of Water” emerges from the density like a whisper from the subconscious—fragmented, echoed, disoriented. The phrase is less a label than a mantra, implying a creature unmoored, gasping in unfamiliar territory.
Central to the work is a ghostly aquatic form—suggestive of a fish or fossilized memory—caught between the blue of imagined water and the burnt umber of parched terrain. It is not just dislocated from its environment, but layered under translucent weights: the sediment of expectation, adaptation, survival.
The warm terracotta corners contrast with the cool aquatic core, suggesting a psychological terrain—perhaps an internal climate shift. The work speaks to alienation, transformation, and the aching beauty of vulnerability in foreign surroundings.
A Fish Out of Water is both confession and portrait. It reveals the resilience required to exist beyond one’s element, and the surreal clarity that comes from not quite belonging.
