When I first moved from Mexico to the United States, I was broke. I had only twenty dollars in my pocket and needed gas for my car. I only needed nineteen dollars in my car to fill it up, leaving me with one dollar. I wanted my dollar to multiply instead of spending it on something like a piece of candy by including it in a piece of art work. I began to read more about abundance and the law of attraction and learned the Koi Fish symbolizes abundance. That led me to creating this piece by using the Koi Fish as a symbol of abundance and using the last dollar I had at that time. Since then, this piece of art has brought abundance to my life in different ways.
