Artist Statement: Reflections explores movement and light, inspired by how water mirrors its surroundings. Fluid lines capture the rhythm of waves, while intricate patterns, drawn from horror vacui (fear of empty space), pull the viewer in, reflecting water’s endless motion. The color palette of aquamarine, deep blue, and reddish-orange evokes sunlight dancing on the water’s surface, shifting with every ripple. The lines blend natural curves with geometric shapes, symbolizing organic and urban connections. This piece invites the viewer to experience the layered complexities of a city mirrored in its water.
