A circle is perfectly centered inside of a square. A school of blue fish swimming and circling around a central circle illustrated with an image of a pool of water with plants and flowers. At the outer edge of the circle, embellished with symbols of religious iconographies which further create ambiguity in the reading of this artwork that is installed in the lobby of the Center.
"All of the selected paintings express the artist's attempt to fuse a variety of cultural views and motifs into a coherent aesthetic whole. In this sense, the artworks are related to the function and goals of the community center."
