For me, paradise is a place where one would feel the most relaxed and happy at; a place where the mind and soul can rest peacefully, a place of serenity.

 

However, I also believe that paradise is unreachable and unattainable. Paradise is just a place that each person makes up in their head, their ideal place free of worries and sorrows of the real world. It is in a sense their way of escape from the real world, but this place is just fictitious; an imaginary, made-up realm.

 

In my second intepretation, I want to show how these paradise is there, in all our heads, but it can never be found or reached in the real world. Nature serves as my paradise, whereas I made use of its reflection in the water to show how unattainable it is. Water because when we run our fingers through it, instead of grabbing onto paradise we get hold of nothing, while the ripples created by our hand movement would temporarily blur or destroy the reflection of our paradise.

 

We know that it is there; we can see our paradise, but we can never seem to reach it no matter how hard we try.
