Girl in the Pool with Sun captures a transcendent moment between the earthly and the cosmic. A woman emerges from glistening waters, her skin bathed in light, arms raised toward the glowing orb above her—an eclipsed sun or perhaps a symbolic red moon. Suspended in an ethereal balance of reflection and aspiration, she gazes upward with reverence, as though summoning the very energy of the universe. Her body becomes part of the water’s fluid language, while the sky turns into a celestial stage of quiet drama.

The piece evokes a spiritual awakening—a baptism into light, power, and divine femininity. The warm tones of her body contrast with the dark, textured backdrop, giving the illusion that she is both part of the universe and standing outside of it. There’s a quiet strength in her posture, a yearning, and a moment of cosmic connection that suggests she isn’t just reaching for the sun—she is becoming it.
