Koi pond

Located in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, Koi Pond is a trompe-l'œil mural bridging private and public space.

 
 

Koi fish are both a symbol of balance and an invasive species in many parts of the world where they’ve been imported for decorative purposes.

The piece reflects on this contradiction with a scene of conspicuous consumption, frozen progress, and idle observation.

 

Passers-by are invited to contemplate the interconnectedness of all things living and inanimate.
