Fishes Everywhere

Digital illustration
In celebration of the Chinese New Year, we did a little research on the marine lives in Hong Kong to see if there are species which names match with the Chinese Zodiac. The aim of the artwork series is to show audience how impressively rich the biodiversity of Hong Kong water is. We expect, through this artwork series, the audience will be able to explore information and knowledge about Hong Kong water and hopefully, we all will pay more attention in conservating the marine lives in Hong Kong.
