About this artwork
The ocean here is a symbol of the “Breath (רוח) of God”. Oceans are diverse but of the same essence. They are whispers of both variation and consistency. The ocean is shallow and approachable; deep and unimaginably vast. It is peaceful yet wild and uncontrollable, while holding the ingredients of life.
As Claire painted she pondered God’s breath hovering over the waters as in the Creation narrative; The unfolding of beauty yet to be known, waiting… to be breathed into life. She held no expectation, but felt an invitation to show up and paint an idea that had been brewing inside of her. Claire wanted to paint the ocean as a feeling or sort of unarticulated longing, which turned into one she would literally hover over as she worked.
This painting became a physical prayer that beauty and restoration and life would be breathed again into our current chaos and darkness.
