Still Life in a Flood

I often have dreams involving deep blue waves crashing into things. In this image, the same waves I had in earlier work are dousing a bowl of fruit on a kitchen table. This one doesn’t have much of a photographic reference as much as it’s a doodle that turned into a painting. It’s based on an old dream I had of a flood of water crashing into a Livingroom soaking and lifting the kitchen table from its position. All at once, it lifts the bowl of fruit above and crashes from room to room through the house.

In this image, I wanted to portray how society felt about climate change and how it interrupts our illusion of splendor.
