Bedtime & Goldfish
Digital
The first of four images for my senior thesis project, Human Animal Bonds, which was created in 2020 - 2021. Studies have shown that watching an aquarium can greatly decrease a person’s cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. This is why many places such as therapists and dentist offices provide a fish tank in their waiting rooms. I wanted to make an illustration depicting the ideal bedroom aquarium that could help a child relax and sleep at night (heck, this would work for adults too.)
Although digitally drawn, this piece was physically sketched out in pencil on 18” x 24” paper.
