One side of the artwork shows a fish holding a Christmas caroling star (a traditional symbol used in Ukrainian Christmas) in the middle of night sky above downtown Brampton. This represents Ukrainian traditions and my appreciation of a starry sky, which reminded me of home when I first moved here.

The other side of the artwork shows two fish on a walk through a neighborhood in downtown Brampton. It is a way of representing my appreciation of architecture and nature, which also reminded me about my hometown in the Ukraine. This design is about finding a sense of home in a place that is almost the opposite of where you are fr​om.

And fish are my way to add the sense of humor and fun into this artwork.
