Summary: The symbolism, process, and planning of this artwork.

Metaphor For Life
Reflection
Meaning & Symbolism: I’ve often thought of my life as me tumbling through a riptide. You can’t fight against it, just try to swim through it. The ocean and waves represent the confusion and often discombobulation I feel in life.
More metaphors.
The ocean waves are emotions crashing down on us. You can’t fight them, you have to let it hit you and then deal with the aftermath. Or at least, this is what it’s like for me.

Progress Notes
- 06/13/26 - Scribble scribble.
- Ooo I have an idea! I want to make a crashing wave on a beach.
- Plants, lets add plants.
Completion Notes
- 06/14/26 - This is a great example of scribbling leading to something. You can still see the random scribbles behind the wave (right in the middle). I really like how this all came out! It was constructed nicely together.
