Peach, apricot, and amber tones drift slowly between broad ivory gestures. Against the calm horizontal stillness of sea and shore, warmth flows in quietly — without breaking the silence. Peach, apricot, and amber tones drift between broad ivory gestures. Against the calm horizontal bands of sea and shore, warmth enters quietly, without disturbing the stillness. SERIES — STILL TIDE STILL TIDE is a five-work series about horizontal stillness rather than the sea as a literal subject. Sea, surf, and shore are reduced to calm horizontal bands, layered with bold gestures and granular textures. Each work shifts in color, but all share the same language of negative space (ma), light, air, and time held just at rest. From a distance they read as quiet seascapes; up close they become fields of gesture and grain — a duality built into every piece.
