Untitled 25 (Harbor Reflections)

This painting stages a flotilla of fishing boats as a bright, frontal chorus—each hull simplified into bold bands of color that read like heraldic emblems of labor and belonging. The water below becomes the true narrator, breaking the boats into trembling ribbons of reflection, where order dissolves into rhythm and memory, suggesting how maritime life is constantly remade by motion and light. The compressed space and near-symmetrical lineup create a sense of communal stillness, yet the vibrating palette and mirrored distortions hold a quiet tension between permanence and drift. In this interplay, the harbor feels less like a location than a state of mind: anchored bodies above, restless currents beneath.
