The Current of Us captures the tension between chaos and calm — the silent dialogue between surrender and resilience.
Hidden beneath the surface of this work are raw confessions etched into the heart:
“Hopefully God will have mercy. Why are the waves so rough? Through waves I rise again. Love sucks. Life sucks. Why am not drowning?
When it will stop, I'm tired. Why me?"
Each brushstroke becomes a conversation with the sea: rough, relentless, and alive. The painting tells the story of those who choose not to drift like dead fish, but to move forward like the jellyfish, delicate yet unstoppable.
Every layer of acrylic medium and oil paint builds on this metaphor of endurance, embodying the struggle and beauty of transformation. When the current begins to fade, it’s not an ending, it’s the beginning of rebirth.
