DEEP DOWN

a diver surveys an underwater scene in the deep blue of flowers including anemonies and blackberry flowers

Layered flowers descend through a deep blue field, arranged vertically as if suspended in water. Some forms drift freely, while others appear loosely tethered, their stems and petals caught at different depths. Colour remains vivid—reds, yellows, and pale blossoms standing out against the darker ground—while transparency and overlap create a sense of distance and scale.

A diver moves quietly through the scene, small in relation to the surrounding forms. Below, a heavy chain drops straight down, cutting through the lighter elements and anchoring the composition. Nothing appears fixed. The flowers hover, separate, and cluster, held between sinking and floating. The image suggests depth rather than surface, with movement slowed and gravity altered, as if the entire scene exists within a submerged space.
