The Invisible Pull explores the vastness of the universe alongside our inner lives, highlighting a sense of humility and awe. Surfers gather beneath expansive skies as vertical lines move through the compositions, representing the pull of the sun and moon—unseen forces that quietly govern the tides, the ocean, and our bodies within it. While planetary motion shifts entire seas, we—small humans—float, paddle, and play in the waves, momentarily held within something far greater than ourselves.

Time spent in nature has a way of turning our attention inward. Away from noise and distraction, we become more aware of our breath, our bodies, and our thoughts. The ocean offers both movement and stillness, inviting reflection and presence. This body of work speaks to nature’s invisible pull back to our center—a gentle reminder of where we find calm, clarity, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
