The lake

The lower half, with its deep swirling blues and blacks, suggests a nocturnal lake—still, contemplative, and ominously quiet—centered by a sharp yellow crescent that may symbolize latent awareness or a hidden presence within the unconscious. From this abyss, a turbulent vertical sweep of greens rises, echoing the emergence of emotion or memory, as if something is breaking through the surface of repression. Above this, the sudden appearance of vivid red forms—like flames, figures, or violent bursts—introduces an explosive, almost ritualistic energy that sharply contrasts the stillness below, suggesting themes of transformation, spiritual unrest, or psychological eruption. This movement from darkness to eruption, from silence to violence, captures a tension between inner stasis and outer chaos, between the depth of the hidden self and the volatile forces that erupt when containment fails.
