Inspired by the fragile and volatile beauty of life. Carpe diem, seize the day. Every day should feel like a sunrise at Santa Monica Beach. And love is always the question and the answer.
“We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
~ Charles Bukowski

An older work, just back from a multi-year exhibition: breathless, speechless and silent in the face of the rough sea raising a storm onshore. Do we still remember yesterday when the waters were smooth? Breathless, speechless and silent, will you still love me tomorrow and when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
