27.5" x 24" x 8" 2020 Hydrocal
The soul is universally understood but seldom depicted, and can never be conceptualized apart from its physical representative. The figure lying supine across the large form is the owner of this soul, transformed from the pain preceding human death to peacefulness and transcendence.

From the Greek myth, the Neried Galatea meets her dolphins. The event that inspired this piece was Galatea’s liberating dive into a wave. Her dive symbolizes a plunge into a cleansing, healing, and purifying of pain, whether it be physical, spiritual or emotional.
