- Signature: Artist’s Statement / Story: Imagine a place where time suspends itself in water—where every joy, mistake, breath, and memory drifts, suspended, in quiet choreography. Life’s Aquarium is that imagined space: a translucent realm where fragments of experience rise, fall, and dissolve into one another. This work captures the essence of a life lived in layers—organic, chaotic, and deeply textured. Bits of embedded material suggest lost treasures or forgotten relics. Ripples of green and sea-glass blue create movement, while soft diffusions hint at clarity just out of reach. Like the tide, this painting holds both presence and absence. The things we carry, the ones we release—they all live here. Nothing is wasted; everything becomes part of the whole. To stand before Life’s Aquarium is to pause in reflection—much like watching fish glide silently behind glass. Only here, the glass is memory, and the water is time.

Soft washes of pale aqua and misty green flow across the surface, accented with touches of gold, amber, and deep forest tones. The textured layers create a sense of shifting light and hidden depth, evoking the quiet mystery of nature immersed in stillness.
