This philosophical allegory explores the dynamic between consciousness and the subconscious. The stark use of black and white underscores the binary nature of the human condition and the universe itself. At the center of the composition is a human figure restraining a massive fish — a symbolic representation of the subconscious: primal, powerful, and intuitive. The human stands for conscious awareness and intent. Their encounter unfolds in a space of void — a realm without ground or water, where reality has not yet taken form. By mastering the largest fish, the human figure brings the rest into harmony. These smaller fish represent tamed meanings — fragments of inner chaos brought under control. The fish also recalls ancient associations: wisdom, spiritual lineage, and hidden knowledge. To tame it is to evolve. Who are you in this encounter — the guide or the guided, the fish or the mind? The answer remains yours to determine.
