Tadpole refers to the delicate stage between a fish and an amphibian. The tadpole is neither fully fish nor fully amphibian, and it must undergo a metamorphosis in order to become one or the other. In this art book, the artist illustrates the growing pain that left a scar in her life, with her memories still swimming in some of her body. Adapted from a childhood story that was often told to her, Tadpole reflects a state of transition, representing the artist's own growth and change, suffused with a sense of nostalgia, as she reflects on her own past experiences.
