This painting was created as we witnessed COVID-19 Pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests raging around the world. Nature is demanding changes, reclaiming beauty, strength, and balance. Humanity is also crying out for fairness.
At the edge of an ever-changing sea of time, new and unfamiliar ideas rise up. They appear here, depicted as illusive seeds arising upon a wave born from a mythical gourd. Once used to carry medicine, wine, and "magic" elixirs, its seeds are born anew, symbolizing creative potential. In Taoism, the shape of the gourd represents heaven and earth in transformation, a microcosm of our universe, self-contained, connected, and inclusive.
