The Sound of the Sea Print

Watercolour, 18k Gold Pigment and Ink on Wood The Sound of the Sea is the third installement in the Seal Chronicles Series. It was a reflective piece for Ai. After years of feeling misplaced or left out to sea, Ai felt that in her own way, she had found a portion of the sea for herself in associating herself with the Selkie. Ai embodied this by creating a half-woman half seal body that is nestled in the midst of coral and seashells, listening once again to her inner thoughts through the conch shell and relaxing in the peace and serenity that this new found perspective has given her. Ai has always been inspired by the bright colours and the iridescent qualities of the shells and coral reefs beneath the ocean, thus she made sure to create as bright a spectrum of shells and corals to bring out the underwater beauty that she so loves. To further highlight the beauty of the coral, she painted the body and hair of the Selkie in 18k gold paint to create a smooth finish, where the attention is still on the Selkie, but due to the contrast of the light that falls on the surface of the wood, it gives the illusion that the rest of the painting stands out more, therefore tying in with her desire to create a sense of belonging within the mysterious ways of the sea. Ai has decided to donate a portion of the profit of the sale of this painting to charity. She is looking forward donating to a local cat rescue organisation called the "LoveKuching Project" and a local dog rescue organisation called "OSCAS" once the painting has been shipped successfully and the buyer is satisfied with the purchase. Ai has always had a deep love for animals and she believes in paying forward goodness with more goodness.
