In "Ripples," a meditating figure cut from black glitter paper sits in a photograph of raindrops landing on blue water. Each drop sends out its own rings, overlapping and spreading in every direction, while the figure stays perfectly still at the center. Up close, the glitter catches the light like the surface of the water itself. For me, this piece is about staying centered while life keeps moving: the drops keep falling, and the calm holds.
