Creature of Current

Creature of Current is inspired by the paradoxical nature of the sea anemone — a creature that appears soft and flower-like, yet is also predatory and defensive. Rooted in one place but constantly moving with the rhythm of the water, the anemone reflects the contradictions within human nature.

Like the sea anemone, we are both vulnerable and protective. We seek connection while guarding ourselves from being hurt. We can be gentle and beautiful, yet still possess survival instincts hidden beneath the surface.

In this painting, the sea becomes a metaphor for the emotional currents that shape us. The flowing organic forms suggest a living inner world continuously responding to touch, environment, memory, and relationship.
