An ocean apart, explores the delicate balance between contrasting realms. The composition is divided into three primary sections: a central band of vibrant, vertical textures and colours, bordered by expansive neutral spaces above and below. The central band features muted pastels, soft yellows, blues, and earthy tones, forming an abstract landscape-like texture with hints of movement and depth. The upper and lower sections, in contrast, are minimal, featuring faint, subtle marks that hint at distant or undefined forms.
An ocean part reflects the experience of being caught between two contrasting environments, states of being, or perspectives. The central band symbolises the liminal space, a transitional zone where worlds blend, collide, and harmonise. I wanted to use this stark contrast to evoke themes of duality: presence and absence, movement and stillness, chaos, and peace. This piece invites the viewer to reflect on their own "in-between" moments, where life feels both grounded and unbounded.
An ocean apart will lifts a room by:
• Adding depth and contrast: the striking balance between vibrant texture and minimal space creates a dynamic focal point that adds depth and sophistication to any room.
• Encourages calm reflection: the spacious neutral tones evoke calmness, while the vibrant middle section inspires curiosity and energy, perfect for spaces designed for relaxation or thought.
• Versatile design: works well in contemporary, minimalist, or transitional interiors, seamlessly tying together complex and simple design elements.
• Symbolises transition and harmony: adds a metaphorical touch to the room, reminding occupants of the beauty in balance and the transformative nature of in-between moments.
