“Solitude” - 19”x13” - Ink & Watercolour

The glacial erratic, know as Sashima by the Songhees first nation, at Harling Point is an iconic location in the city of Victoria. Overlooking the Juan de Fuca straight and the near by Olympic Mountains in Washington state, it is a place of serene beauty.

Though I wanted to create something beautiful, I also wanted to create a metaphor for the isolation that I think we've all felt of the last couple years. Alone and at the whim of the forces that we can't control, like the tides slowly wearing down stone as it's battered day after day. It's also been something for myself to focus on and something I could control while it seemed the world was falling apart around us. Hopefully it reminds you that despite everything that's going on out there, there's still beauty in the world, even if at times it is hard to see.
