"Blinkin´ eyefish" by Gabriele U. Reinecke

This idea came to me when I was doodling.. I wanted to sketch an eye, but afterwards I noticed, that it got the form of a fish... thinking about this, I imagined about the faith of tears: we cry in many situations  - joy, anger, pain, stress, shame - and the vision was, that every tear becomes a fish in an alternative universe. There are small, grey eyefishes, which originates from exhaustion, there are golden, colourful eyefishes, which are created in a joyful outburst of laughter (I hope you understand my poor english ;-D , otherwise I`ve got to create a big frustrated grey´n´black eyefish) - after thinking of all that, I created this special blinkin´ eyefish as  a symbol of the whole race...definitly sad, but brimmed with bright hope.
