Bath Time depicts a gentle moment of self-care, with a hippo enjoying a bubble bath in soft, calming pastel tones. The hippo, often associated with heaviness, is shown in a tender state of rest, symbolising the need to slow down and be held in care. Playful 3D clay elements—a rubber duck, soap, toy car, and toothbrush—add warmth and familiarity, evoking comfort, routine, and childhood memories.
