Description
In this installation art, a bathtub is coated with transparent plastics. Inside the wrapped tub, two live goldfish swim in their essential aquatic environment. The playful goldfish -- and even the object of the bathtub -- may play into the symbolism for liberty and hedonism (bathtub). Within the water-filled tub installed a (presumably) water-proof light in gold. Suspending above the tub is another light (though this one is not turned on as shown in the photograph). The overall environment which contains the bathtub is rendered in red with the environment lighting, as we can tell by the photograph.
