Untitled 15 (The Ocean's Whisper)

In a restrained monochrome field, the composition stages a dialogue between drifting, watery bands and the insistent geometry of repeated white triangles, like sails or mountains, advancing in quiet procession. A central dark form—part vessel, part totem—anchors the scene, its pale core and intricate, root-like tracery suggesting an interior life struggling to surface beneath the weight of surrounding patterns. The vertical striations and barred textures read as veils or thresholds, turning space into a layered palimpsest where memory, migration, and containment overlap. Light is not radiant but withheld—appearing as sharp, faceted accents—so the work feels both meditative and unsettled, as if navigation itself were the painting’s true subject.
