"I" re-imagined; Chapter 2 - I'm Koi-ing
 
A re-imagined version of me emerging with the Japanese koi fish. Koi, play a significant role in our Chinese culture. It symbolize strength, courage, patience and success through perseverance. As a single mum and an immigrant, I faced many challenges and obstacles in life. While I like to think I am a strong woman, I have my weak moment. The moment where I wished I am as strong and free like the koi. It doesn't cost anything to dream or get lost in our imagination... so I depicted myself with this powerful fish that gave me strength to keep on moving.
