The Fish

I chose cubist impressionism for the style of this piece because I wanted an style that would portray feeling and emotion, not concise shapes. The fish represents Christianity, jumping out of the green grass/mountains that represent our world. He is looking up at the soon, with a brown symbol in it. While in many parts of the world this can be recognized as the Japanese character for peace, in can also be seen as an upside down cross. The red shards under the fish are meant to represent hell, and they are supposed to show that the fish, instead of jumping out of our world, is jumping out of hell. The white of the background represents the peace which the fish is supposed to symbolize, and the red is the blood spilled that the fish has caused.
