A mother, sunhat gently tilted, guides two children through a shimmering tidepool of colour and light. They bend in curiosity, searching for sea-treasures beneath the ripples — shells, stones, maybe memories. The scene captures the innocence of childhood and the quiet strength of maternal presence. Waves glisten in hues of turquoise and lavender, while soft shadows dance in sun-washed sand. There's movement, but also stillness — like a moment suspended in warm salt air. This piece, rendered in an expressive, richly pigmented batik style, blends figurative forms with abstract texture. The interplay of saturated purples, corals, aquas, and earth tones gives the work a dreamlike quality, almost as if it's being remembered rather than observed. Cracks and contour lines — signature elements of batik — add organic rhythm to the piece, evoking the flow of water, the roughness of sand, and the passage of time. Despite the abstraction, there's emotional clarity: wonder, togetherness, and a gentle sense of guardianship.
