From the collection Fish – Soft shell by Chi Ying

In a soft blue sea, two round-bodied fish with patchy, shell-like patterns and childlike faces slowly drift toward one another. Their cheeks are gently flushed, eyes closed, as if savoring a moment of quiet recognition. The white floating dots around them resemble falling snow or drifting petals, adding a sense of hush and stillness. Despite their bold markings, their movement feels delicate—like hearts wrapped in armor, learning to open.
