Symbolism of carp

The carp is a fish that has a profound meaning throughout all Eastern cultures, particularly in Vietnam, as it symbolizes luck, persistence, and success. As the Artist’s interpretation of such an iconic symbol, these carp have been symmetrically shaped and look as if they are swimming underwater.
