93cm × 63cm
Acrylic on canvas
Flooded Gum Float Frame
9:12am—the perfect time for stolen morning hours at the beach. Two friends wade into the cool sea, leaving schedules behind. Beneath the surface, they move in their own choreography, suspended between shimmer and sandy darkness.
The artist divides the composition into three horizontal planes, the figures echo the familiar while the background dissolves into gestural brushwork, and intricate patterns capture the water's kinetic energy. The palette of sage, teal, smoked pearl, and aqua creates atmospheric depth, punctuated by Norwegian orange. This contrast between realistic figuration and expressive abstraction evokes the tension between memory and present moment.
