If I Were a Whale
A whale swims through a circular field of swirling paint—blues, greens, yellows, grays marble together in liquid patterns that mimic water, thought, or the movement of time itself. The round format suggests a porthole, a lens, or the pupil of an eye. The whale is grounded, realistic, but the world it inhabits is pure abstraction. It swims not through water but through color.
