“Symphony of the Seas” by Rowin Obrero on view at Galleria Nicolas
Show runs October 11 to 20The ocean reflects the rhythm of the body, the beating of the heart, breathing in and out.
Waves like pendulum mark the present, Each affirming, now-- In the ocean, we are drenched in the present.
Yet in the venerable body of the sea, We feel the essence of time; In the pounding surge, We feel the dense place of our abandoned beginnings.
There is no symbol of the absurd, Nothing points to the gestures of the subconscious, More than what lies beneath the surface.
No threat feels more sinister; Yet the sea is where we cleanse our wounds, Where we get lost in all that is decadently infinite.
Nothing is more lyrical, More vital, More tenderly complete-- Than the endless sea. [Words by Grace Ng]
