In Submerged Spirits the eye is drawn into a realm of motion and transformation. Figures drift in suspension, their bodies stretching into long bladelike ornaments that repeat across the surface with rhythmic force. Colour moves with them, shifting in subtle gradients that ripple like currents beneath water. The lines are cut with precision, each curve sharp yet fluid, creating a sense of forms in constant flux. These shapes feel at once otherworldly and familiar, like microscopic life magnified or spirits in passage. The composition shimmers with energy, carrying the viewer deeper into its restless, floating world.
