I sketched this when just hanging out in my room a month ago. It is inspired by a speaker I own and embraces wildlife. Its centerpiece is one of my favorite aquatic species, while also having aquatic plants and other aquatic species like fish. This piece really caught my eye when thinking about the theme of “variety” because of the components I used.

I wrote this piece in conjunction with my sketch. It is short, but my point in leaving a “cliffhanger” was so that readers can interpret the rest for themselves. I feel like it can bring out a lot of emotions and can spark deep thinking and reflection.
