The Deep Blue

Acrylic on Canvas

“I am a house. It is dark in me.” — Freud

The Deep Blue lives where the conscious mind flickers out and the shadows take over. A descent into the psychic ocean; the pull of inner demons, hidden parts of self, the memories we try to forget, the swirling density of emotions too complex to name, the quiet taboos, the unnamed fears, the tentacles of thought that drag us down.

Some find recognition in its darkness, others in the quiet light beneath it. It is not simply a descent, but also the possibility of surfacing — the duality of being both lost and searching. The possibility to stop running, to sit beside the monster, and discover it was always a memory asking to be met.
