The Fish the Wealthy Keep at Home — Why Does It Keep Appearing in His Work?

There’s a fish people say you should have at home.

The Arowana.

A symbol of wealth, health, and protection.

Often called the “Emperor’s Fish.”

But for Lee Doori, it’s not just a symbol.

“Why does it keep moving in circles?”

Inside an aquarium, the Arowana swims in the same direction.

Endlessly. Lee Duri stops there.

And asks a simple question: “Where are we actually flowing?”

So the fish becomes something else

In her work, the Arowana is no longer just a fish.

It moves between life and death, connects different worlds, and embodies an endless cycle.

In short, it becomes a visual form of “circulation.”

Why you can’t just look once and move on

Lee’s work doesn’t end with a glance.

It lingers. It loops in your head. Because this isn’t just a scene.

It taps into something deeper. A structure we all recognize but rarely see.

Life → Death → Life again

A cycle we understand, but never really confront.

That’s why people keep coming back

It may start as taste. But it stays as meaning.

And work like this doesn’t fade easily. It holds.

So at this point, just see it for yourself
