Framed: 33.5 × 33.5cm
Tasmanian Oak (clear satin)
Dear Diary,
In this goldfish bowl, it’s me and the fish; both suspended, both holding our breath. Submerged II is about making impossible choices: if the water leaks out, I can breathe, but the fish won’t survive; if it stays full, the fish lives, but I stay underwater. It’s a quiet tug-of-war between sacrifice, survival, and the delicate space where two worlds meet.
Love, Shanay x
