Nik Haku - "Koi Dreams" #2 XL

"Koi Dreams" #2 XL is a visual artwork by Nik Haku that drifts between tradition and reverie. A solitary geisha figure stands partially submerged in dark, moving water, while bright koi fish orbit her in slow, silent choreography. The contrast between the heavy stillness of her posture and the gentle motion of the fish creates a suspended moment—half ritual, half dream. Deep blues and muted greens dominate the scene, pierced by the living copper and ivory of the koi, turning the water into a breathing canvas of reflection and depth.

Artist's statement:

This piece is part of an ongoing exploration of identity dissolved in symbolism. The koi represent persistence, transformation, and memory in motion, while the geisha figure embodies stillness, restraint, and inherited ritual. What interests me is the tension between what moves and what remains. In Koi Dreams #2, the water becomes a threshold between worlds—where the self is not lost, but gently multiplied through reflection and repetition.

My practice blends multiple techniques—primarily photography, complemented by painting—to construct images that move fluidly between mediums.
