In the Shallows is composed in turquoise, with subtle passages of purple and the restrained gleam of gold. The painting carries the clarity of shallow water, where the ground beneath remains visible and the body moves with assurance. It is a space of safety and transparency, where nothing is obscured and the surface becomes a place to rest as much as to play. Within the larger series, this work offers balance, reminding us that currents need not always overwhelm; they can also steady us, allowing clarity to rise. In its calm presence, it reveals that even the most delicate waters can hold profound strength.
