=Hannah Ohlund Explication= In this sculpture I believe the figure is leading the fish to the water. Psychologically water can symbolize the death wish therefore I believe the figure is leading the fish to its death. As for archetypes, water can mean redemption. It is also possible the figure is on its way to redemption and the fish further emphasizes the meaning of water. There is also a U2 song called Walk to Water in which it talks about a woman who seems to be lost and is trying to find her way and finds refuge in the water. In the song the woman's father is mentioned about how he "lied" to her about being an artist and it also talks bout her silver necklace from her father that she wore on her walk to the water. I believe she was finding redemption in the water for her father similarly to the redemption being sought by the figure in the sculpture.
