Title: Cost of becoming
Paradox: Released but not free yet
The Story
This painting came from a river where I stopped swimming against the current. The eucalyptus was enormous — it had been there longer than any decision I ever made. I sat in the water and felt the cost of every fight I had waged to get to this point. Becoming is not free. Everything I had been through was the price, and the river was the receipt.
The Crossing
Crossing 3.5 Resistance via Revealing — Revealing the Force. The figure in the water has stopped fighting the current and let the river take over. But release is not the same as freedom — it is the cost of finding out what you are made of when the brakes come off. The landscape blooms around a body that has paid the price of its own becoming.
Presence
A figure sits half-submerged in a sunlit river beneath a towering eucalyptus tree, surrounded by lush Australian bush rendered in vivid pink, green, and blue sunset tones.
Specialised Pigments
Acrylic on stretched canvas. Mineral pigments applied with expressive brushwork, building rich layers of green, blue, and pink across the Australian bush landscape.
Display Suggestions
Contemplative spaces near natural light where reflection is welcomed.
