Black Sea (2025) is an atmospheric painting in which the dark sea reflects the moonlight continously shifting and changing yet staying in the same form: water. The sea has been changed from a location to more of a state- of time. The flowing of the waves may seem peaceful but they are always in a state of movement which will happen until the end of time which doesn’t stop but will continue indefinitely whether we attempt to stop it or not. Thus; it is turbulent and cannot be resolved. It doesn’t offer safety yet feels intimate at the same time- however we cannot grasp what the waves or time try to tell us as like waves- they reveal themself once they arrive at our feet.
The reflected light on the waves could be interpreted as something comfortable; positive coming or perhaps an unsettling light that may upturn our light and the darkness could be complacency or entrance into the unknown. These waves fold into one another becoming lost to time itself adding weight to the situation and concept. The lack of colour within the work furthers this as it feels as though time is a funeral within this- that it is a shift of both state and consciousness that will continue even after humanity goes.
