Statement
Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope is intended to resemble a kaleidoscope of creatures seen underwater,
and attempts to focus anew on the unbroken circle of life and the wisdom, wonder, and beauty found therein.
This form also corresponds to the mandala, a microcosm of the universe using symbols from nature and depictions of the gods.
Incorporated herein is the ancient Japanese concept of all aspects of nature being deities and objects of worship,
and a desire to retain the underwater world as a sacred place.

It looks like a still image taken from a video, and it also looks like it is still moving. Looking at the printed picture shows a different kind of charm.
