The River of Remembering

This painting feels like a tapestry of memories, dreams, and nature woven together. The swirling patterns resemble flowing water, carrying fragments of life—flowers, seeds, spirals, and stars—all drifting in one great current. The white dotted paths are like ancient songlines, marking the invisible threads that connect people to the land, to each other, and to the universe.

It tells a story of interconnectedness: every being, every thought, every memory becomes part of this river. The blues and greens whisper of water and growth, while earthy tones root it in the soil of lived experience.

In essence, The River of Remembering is a visual map of how life carries us forward, but also how everything we are—our past, our ancestors, our environment—flows alongside us in an eternal dance.
