In Japanese symbolism, the red spider lily is associated with death, letting go and new beginnings, while the koi carp most commonly represents perseverance, courage and good fortune.
Together, these two motifs, symbolising complementary emotions, embody the very cycle of life. Throughout our lives, we can do little more than carry on with our wounds, allowing them to shape our character through the way we confront and overcome them. In our vulnerability and frailty, we search for the answers to life's "whys". We are all carried by the current, like fish, moving through waters that are forever changing.
„I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.”
