This piece feels like a deeper continuation of that same quiet fascination—those moments when a school of fish doesn’t just pass by, but surrounds you, becoming an environment rather than a subject.
I was inspired here by the way fish move in circular formations, creating natural patterns that feel almost intentional, like a living spiral. There’s something incredibly immersive about being in that space—when the movement opens up in front of you, forming a kind of window or passage through the water. In this painting, I wanted to capture that sensation of being בתוך the flow, not just observing it.
The sweeping arcs of the fish draw the eye inward, framing a calm, open center. It’s that contrast that I find so compelling—the energy and motion around the edges, and the stillness at the heart of it. The cooler blues and turquoise tones reflect the depth and clarity of the water, while the subtle shifts in light across the fish suggest those fleeting, shimmering moments you only catch when everything aligns.
For me, this work is about immersion and perspective. It’s about that feeling of being part of something larger, where movement and stillness coexist. Watching fish like this has always felt meditative—almost like the ocean is breathing—and this painting is my way of holding onto that experience.
