Brought Koi Pont to Her Face

Emma Van-De-Peer, known for her transformative art, morphs into a living Koi pond, complete with swirling water and vividly colored fish. Her incredible work, which she showcased in “Bored Panda,” captures the tranquility and beauty commonly associated with these aquatic habitats.

In Eastern culture, Koi ponds symbolize good fortune, prosperity, and perseverance. The Koi themselves are celebrated for their resilience and ability to swim upstream, reflecting life’s struggles and victories. Emma’s artistic metamorphosis captures more than the aesthetic appeal of a Koi pond—it also catches its deeper, symbolic resonance. It’s more than a spectacle; it’s a walking, breathing emblem of Eastern philosophy.
