Love that bridges two worlds
36 × 24 inches
Thetis and Peleus meet where tide touches shore—divine and mortal, depth and earth. In this smaller horizontal format, their story feels more intimate: not an epic declared, but a vow held close.
The composition carries a delicate tension—two energies learning one another, surrendering, resisting, returning. Layers of image and encaustic drift like water over stone, suggesting devotion shaped slowly through change.
This work holds the beauty of partnership that is not effortless, yet unmistakably true. It belongs in spaces of closeness and meaning—bedrooms, private halls, reading rooms—places where you want love to feel both sacred and real.
Myth
In Greek mythology, Thetis is a powerful sea goddess of prophecy, destined to bear a son greater than his father. To protect the balance of the gods, she is wed to the mortal hero Peleus. Their union is not born of ease: Thetis resists, shifting forms—water, fire, wind—until Peleus holds fast with patience rather than force.
From their marriage comes Achilles, a legacy of glory and sorrow. Their story speaks to love that crosses realms: devotion that endures difference, and the profound consequences of two worlds joining.
A one-of-a-kind mixed media original, where myth and water become inseparable, and transformation is rendered in light.
Created through a process that merges modern photography and printmaking with layers of acrylic mediums and various fine art materials, the work reveals soft translucency and depth. Light and reflection intertwine like water itself, suggesting purity, renewal, and serenity — a moment of stillness where time seems to dissolve.
