Tread These Turbulent Seas Cautiously // Watch Me Float a Sinking Ship

Part of the ongoing Turbulence Series.

Currently on public exhibition.

Built through layered acrylic, sculpted brushwork, and repeated passes of motion, the piece explores the tension between surrender and resistance—between being overwhelmed by a current and learning how to move through it.

The surface shifts depending on distance.

From across the room it reads as movement.

Up close it becomes a network of decisions, corrections, and accumulated pressure.

This work was created during a period of significant transition and uncertainty. Rather than documenting an event, it documents a state of mind.
