Abstract: This piece is about an old fisherman and his rusty boat. The fisherman was really old, but still doing his duty to feed his family, despite the fact that his boat was rusty and old. With this piece, I wanted to show that his age and the situation of his boat didn’t bother him at all. He told me that he had been doing this since his youth, and it was a family thing. Overall, he was usually spending his days fishing, and he was happy about his lifestyle. However, the most important thing that made me emotional, and convinced me to do his drawing, was his life motto. He told me that his family is really poor, but at least his spirit is calm and nurtured everyday with the pleasing memories and different adventures he had throughout the years at the lake. I would say that this was a pleasing memory and experience for me as well. In life, it is really important to nurture your spirit and character, and not be greedy and needy around the material objects that you own or not. It takes so little to make your life happy, and value the little things that you have. Djoshkun Alievski
