Hmmm..... I see the gold fish as a person, an individual who is inside the fishbowl of the "rat wheel of life". He/she is trapped in there own mind, shackled in a sense to this invisible idea of having to repeat this cycle day in and day out. He/she can see through it all and look out beyond the shackles of this bowl and see a great vast ocean where anything is possible if only he/she would just let go and take that first step into the surf releasing themselves from the fear of the unknown and into the new. The sky is gloomy up above representing the past but the beach behind is bright and all is possible for this person. It represents the present choice at hand. The city off in the distance represents the life he/she currently dwells in and so wishes to leave behind. Looking out at the ocean, the unknown, with great wonder and curiosity........ what choice will he/she make? Thank you. I do enjoy these.
