Life is always changing, much like the waves in the ocean. This piece explores the peace and balance that exist while riding those waves- taking comfort in the fact that everything changes. Nothing stays the same. I was inspired by the song “Oceans” by Pearl Jam, and the love that remains through all of these changes. I created a constant solid white encompassing the unstable varying colors of rich blues and greens that progress through the center. Gold leaf symbolizes the light of the sun, while the wire and bolts represent imperfection and inorganic material that was never meant to be there. Life may not ever be perfect, but in it we can always choose to see the beauty.

“Oceans” by Pearl Jam

Hold on to the thread

The currents will shift

Guide me towards you

Know something's left

And we're all allowed to dream

Of the next time we touch...

You don't have to stray

The oceans away

Waves roll in my thoughts

Hold tight the ring...

The sea will rise...

Please stand by the shore...

I will be...

I will be...

There once more...
