This painting shows a woman underwater, not drowning but thriving in her aquatic world. Her body is made up of all these shimmering fish, swimming around her, as though they're weaving her body, piece by piece, with the flow of life from the sea. They're like symbols of the strong connection between people and nature, and the energy we get from the environment.
Her hair, made up of water plants, looks like it's moving gently in the water. The plants are there for a reason – they represent growth, renewal and the nourishment that comes from immersing yourself in life's purest elements. She finds serenity and purpose in the ocean, and it grounds her.
For me, this work is more than just a pretty picture; it's a real meditation on harmony and resilience. The ocean's endless depth mirrors the complexity of human emotion, both powerful and fragile. It makes us think about how we build ourselves, bit by bit, through connection – with the earth, with others, and ultimately, with ourselves.
