I've always liked the idea of a pond, but I've never lived anywhere with a large enough garden. So when I scrolled past a video of an indoor pond in a gorgeous porcelain planter in the corner of someone's living room recently, well... I stopped, fast. How does it work? How do I make my own? I slid straight into their DMs.
The indoor pond in question belonged to Vancouver-based Katrina (who goes by @__heykaio online). "Porcelain fish ponds in classic Asian gardens have always stuck with me," she shares. "There’s something about that tradition I wanted to carry into my own space. This is my way of staying connected to my culture without it feeling separate from my home — it just belongs there, not as a tank, but as art."
