The Color of Water No. 9

In this piece, the strokes become almost like small waypoints—moments of color placed gently across the page, creating a quiet rhythm reminiscent of watching light touch the surface of calm water. The shapes feel both intentional and airy, like fragments of reflections drifting in and out of view.
 
Deeper blue-green tones offer pockets of stillness, while the lighter strokes soften into the paper, suggesting movement that is barely there—a shimmer, a shift, the pause between ripples. Together, they form a composition that feels balanced yet open, inviting the viewer to slow down and consider the subtle beauty in simplicity.
 
“The Color of Water No. 9” holds the feeling of standing at the edge of the sea on a peaceful day: nothing urgent, nothing loud—just a sense of clarity, presence, and gentle grounding.
