"Crimson Tide" was inspired by the fiery colors and energy of a sunset reflecting on a turbulent sea. I wanted to capture the contrast between the calm and the chaotic, with the vivid reds and yellows representing the warmth of the sun, while the cooler greens and blues hint at the ocean depths. This piece embodies the raw, untamed beauty of nature—how something as simple as a wave can carry so much power and emotion. Through this work, I sought to evoke a sense of passion and intensity, drawing viewers into the swirling currents of color.
