About the Item

This piece captures the vast, shifting energy of deep water in a moment of quiet tension. Layers of textured blues—ranging from midnight indigo to icy turquoise—form a swirling, almost cosmic expanse. The surface ripples with organic patterns, like currents colliding or light breaking through from above. Near the top of the composition, a single baby shark (taxidermy) emerges, suspended in the luminous center. Its subtle presence becomes a focal point of resilience and vulnerability, emphasizing the contrast between the immensity of the water and the fragility of life within it. The painting evokes movement, mystery, and depth, inviting viewers to consider isolation, survival, and the beauty found in moments of stillness amid chaos.
