Broad ivory gestures layer across a pale sky, where a greyish blue-green sea and sandy shore compose a quiet horizon. With no dominant narrative, the work lets light and air settle into the open space — making the breathing room itself the subject. Broad ivory gestures hover above a muted blue-green sea and a quiet sandy shore. With narrative reduced to a minimum, the work centers on horizontal stillness, open air, and the soft presence of light. 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 distilled into calm horizontal bands, layered with bold brushwork and granular texture. Each work shifts in color, but all share the same language of ma (negative space), light, air, and time held gently in place. From a distance they read as quiet seascapes; up close they become fields of gesture and texture. STILL TIDE is a five-work series about horizontal stillness rather than the sea as a literal subject.
