How this became a collection was something I didn’t initially plan. It all started off with the aquarium tank I have at home. In my tank, I have two caridina snails, ‘Buzz’ & ‘Pac-man’  and have always wondered what it would be like to go into the tank to interact with them. To hug, to bond, to hold. The only thing in the way of that of course is the fact that they don’t care for interactions nor do they care about my existence, which is probably why I got a cat two years later. 

The image to the left is a ‘riso-printed’ composition of my tank. I chose these two colours to simplify the ‘sketches’. The green, to create an explosion of the plants and the pinks as a complementary colour that also stands out and pops out. 

Below are real photos from both my aquarium tank, (left) and the terrarium, (right) that inspired, ‘Glowtank’ artwork.
