Contemplating dark waters - both from within and without; I navigate the depths where
slivers of light dance, shaping the darkness. Employing ancient tools, like a cherished
wooden brush, I utilize earth’s rare pigments on a delicate linen surface. I strive to
immortalize the perennial light that reveals itself in shimmering ripples and profound
depths of colour. As I observe subjects shifting with the ebb and flow of life, I find solace
in the unwavering constancy of light, showcasing the latent potential in all things.
