The Koi Pond mural began as a sketch meant to bring calm to a busy world. I imagined a space where movement felt soft, almost meditative—like the moment just before the sun fully rises. Two koi glide toward each other in a gentle loop, symbolizing balance and the quiet persistence of growth. Lilies float across the surface, delicate but grounded, while a small duck watches from the edge—curious, unbothered, and perfectly at peace in its little universe. To me, this piece is a reminder that tranquility isn’t the absence of motion; it’s the harmony within it.

Watching commuters trace the fish with their eyes, or seeing someone smile as the bus pulled up, made me realize that art can be a companion to routine. Koi Pond isn’t loud or demanding; it’s the quiet reminder that even in motion, we can find calm.
