Pacific Rim: A Moment Between the Tides

Some landscapes echo with something beyond time—a call that moves through the waves, through the wind, through the very pulse of the earth. Pacific Rim captures this in-between moment, where longing meets presence, and the vastness of the Pacific becomes both an invitation and a question.

Wrapped in a richly woven blanket, the woman stands at the ocean’s edge, held in the quiet embrace of the Pacific Rim National Park. There’s a knowing in her stance, a recognition of the endless rhythm of the tide—the same rhythm that pulls at something deep within us all. Inspired by Song to the Siren, this painting hums with that haunting, sirenic pull: the call to surrender, to journey, to belong to something greater than oneself.

This place, a sanctuary for both Bryant and me, holds the weight of memory and the lightness of wonder. It is the edge of the world, where the horizon is limitless, yet the present moment is the only certainty. In our collaboration, Bryant brought the feeling of standing there—of being in the presence of something vast and unknowable—while I sought to capture that essence in form and color, in the interplay of movement and stillness.

Pacific Rim is more than an image; it is a portal to that space between longing and arrival, between standing on the shore and answering the call of the sea.
