We’ve all heard that it’s okay to be different, however it doesn’t always feel that way. This piece is a metaphor about how in a sea of people, or in this case fish, individuality shines through the dullness of what we perceive as “normal”. We as individuals send ripples out into the world and have an effect on others, leaving behind a glance, a smile, a memory. Sometimes it takes us time to grow into and embrace our uniqueness, and I hope this piece reminds people it’s okay to be different and beautiful in their own way.
