"In the Depths" is a piece that was inspired by the ocean and by one of my favorite symbols, the nautilus shell (which is also the new logo for the collaborative private practice that I am developing with several colleagues). In my art I see the nautilus shell as being a symbol of the self that is submerged within the depths of a person's being only to be discovered through reflection, insight and personal development. In Hindu mythology, the nautilus shell is a symbol of creation with each of the chambers in the shell representing the stages that each individual passes through during life. The piece is 11 by 14 inches, acrylic gouache.
