This piece emerged from the paradises we imagine when the world feels difficult to remain in.

To me, this piece is reminiscent of the paradises people dream of in difficult times~ the kind of place we know exists somewhere in the world, but lives most vividly in the imagination. A place associated with freedom, weightlessness, and the feeling of being briefly removed from everything that feels heavy.
The work began with an image of aquamarine shoreline water beneath dark storm clouds gathering in the distance. It felt like the kind of refuge we seek when life becomes overwhelming. Less a destination than a liminal space we pass through in moments of longing; somewhere to reach for freedom and relief before returning to the world.
Traditionally the phrase ‘halcyon days’ refers to “a period of calm seas and peace, often remembered as fleeting or belonging to another time.” Likewise, this pieces speaks to a temporary season of peace. beautiful precisely because we know we cannot remain there forever 𓇢𓆸
