Once, a paper fish

lived in the deep blue.

Then a hand came down.

Sold at dawn,

wrapped in yesterday's news,

carried through the city

to a Sunday table.

But the table remembered the sea.

Tutto passa.

Painted, animated with generative tools and edited by hand. The music is written in code, so every word falls on the beat.

Where it comes from

The paper fish was born from work no. 106 in the GIPHY archive.

Before it reached a Sunday table, it was a faceted fish in a loop.
