Tidal Changes Painting

This acrylic painting on canvas features turquoise, blue, and green hues that convey a sense of softness and tenderness. It depicts women coming together in a caring and mindful embrace, representing both peace and stillness as well as movement. The background alludes to the shapes water currents create on the sandbed or wind currents in the sky. It is integrated with the bodies, giving the impression that they are part of, and overflowing into, each other. The painting aims to evoke a sense of serenity and vulnerability related to womanhood, motherhood, sisterhood, and friendship. Through the allegory of water movement, the painting also tells a story of change over time, illustrating how we create and let go of relationships throughout our lives. A poem that accompanies this work, is: "Bedforms dance to the rhythm of the surface. Below the water, change moves gracefully, and time passes with reverence. Tidal changes create and wash away everything we attach ourselves to."
