Trapped in this place, it feels nearly impossible to escape. Yet, a small hole offers a path out, a chance to release this man from the sea of emotion and memories that surround him. He swims, exposed and vulnerable, with a rock from a special place, holding memories of a past lover. The wallpaper in this place, once his grandmother’s kitchen, serves as the backdrop, a reminder of her presence. Now, he lives in her home, once shared with his lover, but now alone, trapped in memories of her in this place.
A plant struggles to grow, its roots reaching out in search of soil, mirroring a passion once shared. The two goldfish, symbols of the lovers, swim apart, their backs turned toward one another. They represent departure, but also hope. The goldfish embody perseverance, and finding a way to survive on their own, emerging stronger from heartache.
A penny lies on the floor, a peculiar reminder of family ties. His late grandmother, occasionally leave him pennies, just to remind him he’s not alone. As a child, he used to play poker with those pennies while skipping school, cared for by her when he was too sick to do anything else. This place holds both sadness and joy. It has witnessed family passing, new love blossoming, and deep heartache. Yet now, it feels like time to leave this place, to move on and release all that it holds.
