Eternal Life

From childhood, artist Lee Du-ri has cultivated over 20 years of experience in aquarium life, raising ornamental fish. Through close observation within aquariums, she has gained insight into the cycles of life, the mysteries of nature, and the inherent rules that govern it—seeing in them a reflection of human life itself.

In Lee’s works, these qualities become a medium through which the Arowana embodies a sacred, talismanic force. It appears not only as a spiritual being that channels divine will but also as a guide or messenger traversing between this world and the next, carrying with it the aura of eternal life.
