With the ‘goldfish project’ I want  to raise awareness for the goldfish.

The fishes are professionally designed with the idea that anybody can own a piece of art. It’s better to buy one of this goldfishes instead of a real one.  Use the fish-matchmaking app to find your perfect match!

In my work I question the duality between nature and nurture. In our everyday urban life, we have lost touch with nature. We buy pets as a companionship or amusement commodities to satisfy our needs. We are trying to reconnect, but do we experience the sublime immensity of nature that way or are they becoming a part of our everyday habits and social rituals?
