Artist’s Note: This artwork depicts a surreal landscape that blurs the line between reality and imagination. A rocket sinking into the ocean, a small dog seemingly awaiting rescue atop it, and a lifeboat approaching from the distance—with a shark lurking nearby. These elements symbolize a moment where adventure, danger, and hope coexist. While the vivid colors and realistic details ground the scene in reality, whimsical elements such as the hidden whale shape in the clouds and the floating rubber duck add a sense of childlike wonder. Notably, the dog wearing a sailor’s hat serves as a symbol of courage and hope in the face of uncertainty. Through this piece, I aim to convey the message that even in moments of crisis, we must hold onto hope and use humor and imagination to discover new possibilities. The open composition allows each viewer to interpret the scene in their own way, encouraging a journey between reality and fantasy. I hope this artwork brings a sense of adventure, hope, and a smile to those who experience it.
