In Ikan Mas (Merah), the graceful movement and flowing forms of the fish are carefully arranged to create a harmonious circular composition. This circular formation evokes a sense of unity and natural harmony, as the fish appear to move in rhythm. Set against a striking red background, the composition evokes a bold and dynamic energy.
