To Those Who Love in Oceans  is a series that explores the emotional terrain of yearning, self-deception, and the quiet ache of compromise through the ever-shifting language of water. The series of paintings begun with the writing of a poem (read below). The paintings and poem are a marriage of visual art and literature, drawing on the symbolism of ripples, reflections, and submerged imagery to mirror the emotional states of those who hunger for depth yet find themselves wading in the shallows. Water becomes both metaphor and medium - a container of dreams, distortions, and truths half-seen. Through this series, I invite the viewer to consider what we settle for, what we desire, and what lies beneath the surface of the choices we make in love and life. This series is still in progress.
