Balance: Tidal Rhythm

A quiet ocean breathes within this circle.

Across a 24-inch round horizon, currents of blue and white spiral into a yin and yang embrace—water meeting water, motion answering stillness. One half churns with deep, marbled tides, layered like memory and time; the other opens into luminous calm, a space where light drifts freely. From this balance emerges the jellyfish, translucent and weightless, its bell cradling the pull between opposites.

Its tendrils unfurl like flowing calligraphy, trailing through the divide with feathered grace—neither bound to chaos nor silence, but harmonizing both. The acrylic layers ripple with depth, evoking moonlit seas and tidal rhythms, as if the painting itself is slowly breathing.

This work is a meditation on duality: strength and softness, movement and rest, shadow and light. A living symbol of balance, it invites the viewer to drift, to pause, and to find beauty in the gentle equilibrium of opposing currents.
