Inner Self 3 (Hidden Depths)

Suspended in a cool wash of jade and turquoise, the central form reads like a sleeping creature cradled by water, its delicate linework suggesting both shell and body—protection and vulnerability held in the same breath. The composition drifts rather than anchors, with soft-edged blooms below and a measured column of marks at right that feels like a quiet tally of time, tide, or memory. Light seems to seep through layers of pigment, turning the space into a submerged atmosphere where boundaries dissolve and the subject becomes an emblem of retreat, renewal, and slow metamorphosis.
