Fisherman 1

A yellow flower with a tiny fisherman. There is a yellow flower with a miniature fisherman figurine inside of its petals. I describe a quiet place in this photograph. It is implied that a tiny fisherman lives in a yellow flower. I tried to assimilate myself into the tiny art community. In the process of making this artwork, I offer some keywords: love, cute, and tiny. Dimensions: 1.2 inches × 1.2 inches × 1.2 inches.
