What if?
This image tells a story that dances between the real and the imagined. The lighthouse stands as a symbol of presence and guidance in a surreal, dreamlike world. The composition began with a photo I took lying on the ground in front of the lighthouse, looking up at the tangled shapes of live oaks and palms.
The sky—split between deep turquoise and lime green—defies natural expectations, heightening the emotional charge. Paper airplanes and perched seagulls suggest messages, ideas, or possibilities. The plane’s multi-striped path hints at direction, uncertainty, and choice.
Bold, undulating branches echo growth and divergence, much like life’s unpredictable paths. Unusual color harmonies are part of my signature style, and the black-and-white piano stripes are a tribute to my brother, a brilliant musician lost too soon to Alzheimer’s.
Despite its introspective themes, the piece radiates joy. Its vibrant palette and playful rhythm invite a smile—what are the seagulls thinking? Can I catch a plane? And what is that yellow submarine periscope watching for?
This piece explores the unseen turning points we carry inside us—moments of curiosity, change, and imagined futures. It asks What if? and What else could be? —using color, motion, and emotion to navigate the landscape of life.
