What Water Remembers

These artworks investigate the visual and philosophical dimensions of water, reflection, time, and the intricate patterns found within nature. The spiral-shaped piece “Life,” rendered in acrylic on individually cut plywood segments, echoes the nautilus shell—a timeless symbol of organic growth, continuity, and the underlying geometry of natural forms. The swirling aquatic patterns and delicate, vein-like detailing evoke both the microscopic structures of life and the vastness of the natural world, suggesting the unity between all scales of existence. In “There’s No Time Like The Present,” dynamic waves and concentric turbulence are rendered in cut acrylic on wood, surrounding a dark, reflective nucleus. Here, the fragmentation and movement of water imagery evoke the fluidity of time—where moments dissolve and re-emerge, and currents echo life’s impermanence. The composition’s segmentation and penetration of the picture plane disrupt the conventional boundaries, reflecting both the unpredictability of water and the cyclical essence of change.

The third piece, characterized by organic, root-like forms and delicate overlays of pattern, continues this meditation on the entwinement of growth, ephemerality, and environmental cycles. Enamel and acrylic create cascades of light, shadow, and reflection, suggesting water’s role as a life-preserving force and as a mirror to deeper ecological truths. Through these compositions, there emerges a contemplative narrative: even as humanity strives to shape and control its environment, the enduring wisdom and quiet power of nature prevail. Over time, the transient marks of civilization are softened, reshaped, and ultimately reclaimed by the persistent cycles and patterns that have governed the earth for millennia. These works invite viewers to reflect on their own place within these cycles, and on the enduring promise that, despite human endeavors, nature’s rhythms remain fundamental and inescapable.
