Children still play at our seasides, blowing bubbles in gleeful choruses. These bubbles ascend like a lively cannonade, catching the sun and sea's brilliance in a dazzling palette before they burst and disappear from earthly existence. This transient, joyful instance encapsulates the essence of 'Bubbles', an art series echoing the beauty, strength, and delicacy of Lucayan seas.
The Bahamian waters are more than just our scenic backdrop; they're an integral part of our identity and livelihood, a persistent symbol of our rich heritage. These seas, embroidered with countless shades of blue and green—including our distinct aquamarine, resonate with strength, resilience, and perpetual inspiration, intricately woven into our collective history and daily lives. Visitors, too, are captivated by this spectrum of colours, the crystal-clear waters, and the vibrant life teeming beneath.
The 'Bubbles' series comprises acrylic studies on canvas, paper, and blown glass pieces, mirroring these remarkable qualities. These art pieces capture the vast, enigmatic life below the water's surface and human interactions with the ocean, invoking the playful, joyous act of blowing bubbles. The medium of glass, transparent and seemingly weightless, beautifully mimics the sea's perpetual motion. Like water, glass represents a delicate equilibrium of strength and fragility, symbolising our interaction with the ocean as a life-supporting force, despite threats to the bustling life beneath.
'Bubbles' serves as more than a testament to the beauty of The Bahamas’ seas; it's a celebration of their ancient, resonating resilience and mystery, and their invaluable role in our lives. As the bubbles rise and children's laughter fills the air, we are reminded of the ocean's magnificence and the cherished memories it fosters. It encourages us to remember that our identity is inextricably inter- twined with our environment and to honour and protect our waters, for they are a source of life, inspiration, and infinite joy.
Each piece, like every wave and bubble in the sea, delivers a crucial message: to cherish the sea, to safeguard it, and to carry its beauty and wisdom into the future. As bubbles captured rise and burst, this collection whispers its potent message: the sea is us, as we are it. For as long as we remember this, the sea will remain a beacon of life, inspiration, and boundless delight—the kind to last us a lifetime.
