‘We cannot see our reflection in running water, it is only in still water - that we can see.’

This atmospheric design brings to light the true beauty in slowing down. The vastness of the ocean is captured in this moment, engulfing the canvas in layers of snow white and warm taupe.

Layers of sunlit gold interweave the waves amongst the canvas, delicately reflecting the sun amongst the gentle ripple of the mighty seas. Each section of the canvas is owing to the stillness of the design, seeping onto the stretched edges as if desperately clinging onto the fleeting serenity. The design is all encompassing of perspective, the sunlight’s illumination changing and adapting depending on your viewpoint. This artwork encourages the viewer to feel hopeful in the beauty of new horizons.
