Feeling the Invisible Waves. Another World Reflected by Goldfish.
We stare at goldfish through the glass every day, but from the goldfish's side, they also perceive our world with their own senses. There, a minute and rich "ocean of information" that can never be reached by human eyes or ears spreads out.
Juane * here.Hello.
Today, I would like to talk about the amazing sensory mechanism that goldfish have and the importance of snuggling up to their "way of feeling".
"Sixth Sense" Listening to Water Fluctuations
If you look closely at the side of a goldfish's body, you will notice a thin streak that continues from the head to the tail fin. This is a very sensitive sensory organ unique to fish called the "lateral line". They use this lateral line to sense water flow, changes in pressure, and even slight vibrations in the distance.
The sound of our footsteps when walking near the aquarium and the vibration of closing the door of the room.For goldfish, they are transmitted as "sounds" and "shaking" that are clearer than we imagine.
Field of View of Colors Wider than Humans
Goldfish vision is also very developed.Surprisingly, it is said that goldfish can identify even "ultraviolet rays" that humans cannot see.They may be spending their days in more gradations and colors than the scenery we see.
Also, the reaction to moving things is very sharp, and they distinguish firmly who brings food by their appearance and movement.When we stare at each other through the glass, they receive our expressions in their own world of rich colors.
Thinking about the Opponent's World
Trying to understand a partner who has feelings different from yourself.It is similar to the attitude of empathy in Adlerian psychology, "seeing with the eyes of the other, listening with the ears of the other, and feeling with the heart of the other".
"How would these children feel if there was a loud noise?" "Aren't they dazzling if it suddenly becomes bright?" Imagining their five senses like that is to pay respect as a one - on - one life beyond mere management.That quiet consideration creates health named "peace of mind" for them.
Resonating Two Worlds
The trembling of water felt by goldfish and the trembling of air felt by us.Although we live in different worlds, we certainly share the same "now" and feel each other's existence.
When I create a work, I want to express even the emotions that Jun feels and the air that he shows for a moment.Like listening carefully to invisible waves.Being two artists in one person is not easy.Lol.
Function of Lateral Line(Mechanoreceptor): The lateral line is a sensory organ that senses water currents and low - frequency vibrations, and plays an important role when fish form schools or avoid obstacles.This makes it possible to grasp the surrounding situation three - dimensionally even in the dark or muddy water.
Tetrachromacy: Like many freshwater fish, goldfish have four types of pigment cells that sense near - ultraviolet rays in addition to the three colors of red, green, and blue.It has been biologically proven that this enables the discrimination of colors far more diverse than humans.
Weberian Apparatus: Cyprinid fish, including goldfish, have bones called "Weberian apparatus" connecting the swim bladder and the inner ear, which amplifies the vibration of sound and transmits it to the inner ear.Therefore, goldfish belong to a group with particularly excellent hearing among fish.
