"I Swim Alone" is about the quiet courage of moving through your own world. The betta swims in green waters, red fins flicking like sparks, surrounded by bubbles, petals, and shells, my way of showing that even in solitude, life is rich and full. I painted it thinking about what it means to be self-reliant, to carve your own path, to be bold without needing anyone to follow. Every layer, every detail, is a part of that story, of standing alone, fully alive, and fiercely yourself.
