Why A Fishbowl?

It’s quite simple really and maybe a bit silly too.

The truth is, I like the simplicity of the pictures. I like water. I like swimming. Fish are cool. Orange is my favorite colour.

AND…

I think goldfish are… little crackers. The ones I swore I would never give my kid because of the unnatural, non-organic ingredients. And guess what? I CAVED and he likes goldfish. And I like it when he isn’t screaming, “NO MaaAAAMM! I done yike dat cackar, I yike go-feesh!”. Ya know what I’m sayin?!? By the way his first handful of "gofeesh cackars" was at daycare...

As for the bowl, well the fish have to live somewhere. Just like me, I live in a transparent world wondering around and around in search of happiness as a woman and as a Mom. I want to share with you my experiences of what it is to be a woman and a Mom in a world where your shit floats behind you, where your bubbles burst at the surface, where the dead get flushed and where we strive to find the space where we can breathe with ease and be seen in all of our glory.

Thus a theme was created, one in which makes me think of some of the things I love… Peace and quiet, clean, refreshing, random attention and all that other stuff that isn’t coming to my mind at this moment.

P.S. I figure if I feed my son the Goldfish crackers made with whole grain, it's better than the alternative. That has to count for something, doesn’t it? Besides there are no artificial flavours or colours – it says so right on the packaging. What exactly is autolyzed yeast and monoclacium phosphate anyway?
