As a painter, I continuosly look for inspiration. I thought that using a fish as a model could be interesting. But the experience has been dramatic: I could not accept that my creativity was limiting the fish’s freedom. “In the tank” analyzes the link between these two concepts, i.e. is a reflection on freedom and creativity.
