Tales of the Carp

The tale of a fish who ate the river god’s gem and attained a human form. Having acquired the powers of the gem upon devouring, the fish journeys forth to the East in search of the fabled gate of the Dragons. His path, though, is fraught with many obstacles, navigating through the unfamiliar lands before him, burdened with unhelpful companions.

Created during the AtoNexus artist residency, influenced by the local Japanese culture and the way of living. Inspired by the spaces within Tokyo, with the pockets of nature co-existing with the rapidly changing mechanical urban spaces.
