Enter the liminal space between life and death, a portal sought by few, yet experienced by all. I, myself, am pulled back to my near-death experience of almost drowning in a swimming pool as child, floating somewhere in the in-between, but feeling intense light from all angles. The swirling vortex of Swim in the Void Sea was started using a split cup pour of titanium white, carbon black, micaceous iron oxide and iridescent gold swept in diagonal lines across the canvas, fully covering it before tilting to shape the intricate swirls. Reminiscent of Rainworld's key to ascension, Swim in the Void Sea visualizes the spaces beyond the life cycle--purgatories of fate.
