This art piece, made on a 12 x 16 wooden canvas, tells a story about dreams and the influence of money. The bottom lies a fishbowl made up of a miscellaneous collection of blue images, giving the feel of an abstract, surrealistic appearance. Inside the bowl, a girl in a white dress swims towards the surface, one arm reaching forward, as if reaching for something beyond her grasp. Above the fishbowl, there are three - acrylic painted - goldfish all with, almost, shocked expressions. Above them, a hand, colored in acrylic color pencils, is sprinkling collage money into the clear water inside the fishbowl, symbolizing how wealth and materialism often can influence our desires. The background, painted as an overhead view of a golf course, gives the art piece a feeling of a game-like system, where success feels out of reach. The combination of collage, acrylic paint, and acrylic colored pencils represents the complexity of chasing dreams in a world where money shapes our goals.

About the Artist

Aaron Ng

As an artist, I focus on exploring the themes of life and the pursuit of dreams. My art often seeks to capture the internal struggles we face and the way we navigate our desires. My recent pieces explore these themes through powerful imagery. One piece depicted a baby face on the left morphing into an old man’s face on the right, symbolizing the emotional and physical changes as we age. In my current work, I address the idea of dreams and materialism. The piece features a girl swimming in a fishbowl with a collage of blue images, while above her, money is sprinkled into the water, symbolizing how influences like wealth, shape our aspirations. This work, and also my past pieces, focus on the impact of forces on growth, and symbolize how our desires and dreams are often influenced by the world we live in.
