Her eyes are closed, lashes resting gently against his flushed rosy cheeks, expression utterly peaceful and still, as if he has fallen asleep mid-drift. Hee dark teal-black hair fans out loosely around his head, its strands bleeding into the surrounding blue in soft weightless waves. She wears a white garment with a green ribbon tied at the collar, the fabric spreading and dissolving outward into the blue around him, its edges indistinct and dreamy. All around him, white koi fish circle and sweep through the space in slow graceful arcs, their bodies luminous and semi-transparent, fins trailing long feathery wisps of white and gold as they move. Their orange-gold markings glow warmly against the deep vivid blue of the surrounding atmosphere, and green aquatic leaves drift among them, long and ribbon-like, curling loosely through the space between the fish and his floating figure. Small points of glowing light are scattered throughout the composition, soft white and pale green orbs drifting like bubbles or embers caught in still water. The entire scene is saturated in an intense cobalt and cerulean blue, the white of the fish and his clothing burning brightly against it, the whole image feeling like something between drowning and dreaming, suspended and endless and completely without urgency.
