Peace made visible
Eirene arrives without sound.
She is the pause after turbulence, the gentle exhale that follows endurance. This work holds the sensation of equilibrium—where tension dissolves, and the world settles back into itself. Light moves softly across layered surface and image, as if calm were something that could be touched.
Eirene is meant for spaces that seek restoration rather than drama—rooms of reflection, renewal, and quiet grace. Her presence steadies, inviting stillness not as absence, but as fulfillment.
In Greek mythology, Eirene is the goddess and embodiment of peace, one of the Horae—the guardians of natural order and right timing. She is often depicted bearing Ploutos, the child of abundance, reminding us that peace is not emptiness, but the fertile ground from which prosperity and harmony grow.
Eirene’s power is subtle and enduring. She governs balance after conflict, growth after hardship, and the gentle order that allows life to flourish. Her story honors peace not as passivity, but as an active, sustaining force—the quiet architecture that holds the world together.
Created through a process that merges modern photography and printmaking with the ancient art of encaustic, layers of molten beeswax, oils, and resins are built up and fused with fire. The textured surface invites touch, its translucent depth suggesting both concealment and revelation. A one-of-a-kind encaustic mixed media painting — where photography, molten beeswax, and oils merge to reveal a serene underwater world. Layers of texture and translucency create a luminous depth that can only be achieved through fire and time.
Inspired by the Greek goddess of peace, Eirene, whose name also evokes the season of spring — a time of renewal and fragile balance.
This diptych merges underwater photography with fine art materials and layered mediums, creating luminous textures that flow like light through water. A serene meditation on stillness, transformation, and the quiet strength of peace.
