The Night Swim, 2024
Oil on canvas
48x60"

The painting features nighttime swimmers and explores a theme of intimacy and distance. It draws a parallel between water’s fluidity and the ambiguity of love, reflecting on how individuals might share intense closeness while also maintaining their autonomy. Like love, water takes on contrasting forms - calm and soft, or dynamic and strong, depending on its state. These shifting shapes mirror love’s tendencies, suggesting that closeness can give way to space, and stillness can flow into motion. Much like water, love’s essence remains unchanged, yet it has the capacity for endless transformation.
