Through the Deep

Oil on canvas, 36 × 36 × 1.5 inches, 2025.

Through the Deep is an original figurative oil painting depicting a woman suspended underwater, her eyes closed as her hair drifts outward through luminous blue water. Patterns of refracted light move across her face and shoulders, emphasizing the shifting visual effects created beneath the surface.

Above her, a fragmented reflection creates a doubled image, suggesting the changing relationship between the body, water, and perception. Although the figure appears still, the surrounding movement of light and hair gives the composition a quiet energy.

Part of the Women’s Resistance collection, Through the Deep explores resilience, breath, suspension, and the sensory experience of submersion. The painting contributes to a broader investigation of embodiment, environmental atmosphere, and ecofeminist themes, presenting stillness as a source of strength rather than surrender.
