"Side By Side" (相辅相成)
"Side By Side" by island6 Art Collective (Liu Dao)
// BLURB //
Ah, the humble goldfish! In Chinese philosophy, these shimmering little swimmers have long been associated with prosperity and abundance. Their mere presence in a home is thought to invite good fortune—who knew that a tiny fish could have such grand aspirations? Jīnyú (金鱼) are like the quiet philosophers of the aquatic world, quietly floating through life like they have all the answers but won’t share a single one. Their shimmering LED scales aren't just for show—they represent prosperity, abundance, and a promise that maybe, just maybe, your wallet will look as full as their bellies one day.
Masters of “go with the flow” mindset, they drift, they glide, side by side; and they remind us that sometimes, the path to fortune is simply about staying afloat.
They have memories lasting up to several months, which is way better than the common belief that they only remember things for three seconds. Maybe they’re secretly pondering the many secrets of the universe in that rectangular, black-stained teakwood frame that’s hanging off the wall.
