Arrive Where We Started

In this series, the water imagery represents the unpredictable and ever-changing nature of the human experience.

What Keeps the Water in the Sea? is a metaphor for the things that hold us together as we move through the unknown. The bedrock of the earth and gravity keep the water in the sea. Similarly, everyone chooses their own foundation when navigating change. This body of work celebrates the spirit of moving forward through transition and transformation.
