‘’ With a drop of cliché, I could remind you that our human bodies are at least two-thirds water, but more interesting than these ontological maths is what this water does – where it comes from, where it goes, and what it means along the way. Our wet matters are in constant process of intake, transformation, and exchange – drinking, peeing, sweating, sponging, weeping. Discrete individualism is a rather dry, if convenient, myth.’’
- Astrida Neimanis ‘’Bodies of Water’’
Fish represents multiple things. 1) The self that roams the fluid waters of identity. 2) The consciousness that roams the fluid waters of subconscious. 3) The mute and inexpressible part of the self that lives in the verbal world of language and communication. 4) The things I can’t say or the things I can’t put into words. 5) Jesus but outside of a religious viewpoint – Jesus as a mental state that is Zen – the absolute silence – the unity of the macrocosm and microcosm and the breathing of it all. 6) The unbreathable for human (water) is essential for a fish life, thus water represents spaces we inhabit and our inability to imagine a fundamentally different view of life because our own is so intertwined with us that we see it as a part of us.
