“Dream and reality are all mixed up in my memories, recorded permanently in this ambiguous way.” – Keiichi Tanaami

The carp climbing the waterfall in Tanaami's work symbolizes the nature facing an endless stream of chaos generated by humanity. Pop culture images and flashbacks from his wartime childhood become a dream captured on canvas.
