Emerald Surrender explores the rhythmic dissolution of power. Through a tiered progression of emerald peaks the eye is led from the towering majesty of the open sea to the delicate lace like foam at the shore. This piece captures the moment the oceans raw energy yields to the sand, a transition from the deep translucent greens to a white foamy stillness, it is a study of strength, surrender and its inevitable return to the earth. There is a certain beauty and peace in the way that even the greatest most powerful ocean swells eventually surrender their power back to the earth as it gently washes onto and caresses a silent shore.
