Like water ~

                                                                           

                                        What do you see when you see your reflection in water? Do you see you or water in you?
 

Becoming & Un becoming is part of a ongoing series titled ~ like water ~ is inspired by water, oceans,
rivers etc while continuing to use my thread from mixed old map and continues to explore Identity,
multiplicity, coexistence, harmony and oneness through nature.

An ongoing meditative series tracing the river as origin, metaphor, and the movement of self through time and space.

🪷 A river as a beginning... and as a metaphor of transience.

This work explores the beauty in the state of flow—a gentle unfolding that reflects both nature and inner being.

Old maps have long guided my process—first as literal material, then as symbolic landscapes for exploring the shifting nature of identity. In earlier works, the River Thames, seen through antique London maps, became a point of departure for stitching together places, selves, and stories. Over time, these maps evolved into trees of life, atmospheric landforms, and abstract gestures of water—echoes of the flow that exists in all things.

​

What began as an inquiry into transient identity has now opened into a larger meditation on fluidity, impermanence, and natural rhythm. The work moves toward stillness—not as stagnation, but as a conscious presence.

​

🌱 Nature, once backdrop, is now central—whispering its wisdom of becoming, dissolving, and returning.

These pieces are visual meanderings—threads of time, emotion, and memory, stitched into surfaces with quiet intention. They ask:

〰️ Where are you really from?
〰️ What do you see when you look into water?
〰️ Do you see yourself—or the river moving through you?

Eventually, the questions dissolve. What remains is being: quiet, present, in harmony with the environment around and within.
