At first glance, the composition feels calm — colors laid out across the canvas, each holding its own space. But then you notice the river.
It bends and pushes its way through the center of the painting — not cleanly, not politely — but bleeding. One color slips into the next. Borders blur. What once felt separated now feels connected by something deeper and more uncontrollable.
To me, this river isn’t just paint. It’s everything in our lives that spills into one another — joy bleeding into grief, hope into fear, past into present. It’s the way our experiences don’t stay in the neat little boxes we build for them. They move. They bend. They flow.
And in doing so… they connect us.
Because whether we admit it or not, we all carry that same river inside of us — the current that runs through every memory, every belief, every version of who we’ve been. Sometimes it’s calm. Sometimes it’s wild. But it’s always moving.
This piece asks a simple question:
What would happen if we stopped fighting the flow?
