    • Inspiration:
      My goal was to provide a vibrant spot of joy for passers by. I wanted a design that would be fun and playful, colorful and engaging. I developed the idea of a vertical aquarium, complete with bright coral, flowing plants and endearingly quirky fish characters. I wanted to create something that would bring a smile to the faces of adults and children alike. Details like the underbite of the fish, the school of minnows, the glimmer of the eyes, the polka dots on the fish, bubbles floating up to the imagined surface…. These all work together to bring viewers into a joyful exploration of playful sea life.
