Acrylic on canvas. Brushwork. Varnished. Representational magical realism.

Beneath the surface of a quiet sea, a woman floats. Her eyes are closed, her body draped in soft fabrics of pale green, coral pink, and sea-washed blue, colours that drift and curl around her like breath.

Before her hovers a giant sea turtle. She leans forward, gently pressing her lips to its nose. It is not a kiss of possession, but one of reverence. Of recognition.

Their eyes are closed not in denial, but in trust. This is not a dream. This is the possibility of love untainted by dominance.

The woman is the artist. She is all of us, and she is who we could be.

This painting is a companion of Come Let Me Love You Still... another offering, another whisper:
Let me love what we have failed to love fully.
Let me protect what remains.
