Long, Arching Tunnels

Depicting a slot canyon rising from the sand, this watercolor features undulating, purple striated rock dominating the right foreground. Opposite, a jagged, orange wall recedes into the background. The artist frames this geological enclosure as a direct metaphor for the interior architecture of the mind and memory. Between the formations, progressively darker layers descend into deep shadow. These central shadows signify psychological barriers erected against the unknown. In contrast, the shifting light and fluid lines tracing the canyon walls represent the continuous shifting of human identity.
