This painting explores the nature of memory and place. The dominant abstract form represents a sedimentary rock formation from Corona del Mar State Beach in California, based on the artist's childhood memories of summers spent there at ages 8 and 9. The small, realistic seascape nestled within the larger form creates a striking contrast. This juxtaposition invites reflection on the relationship between past and present, memory and reality. Through this composition, the artist examines how formative experiences shape our perceptions and linger in our consciousness. The work encourages viewers to consider the lasting impact of childhood landscapes on our inner worlds, and the complex interplay between abstract memory and tangible reality.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
