“Confluence”

Repurposed framing moldings, acrylic, neon

21 ½” T x 13” W x 6 3/4” D

“Confluence” is a meditation on the meeting of energies—where color, texture, and light converge into harmony. The foundation is built from reclaimed fragments of ornate framing, each piece distinct in form and history, painted in a spectrum of tranquil hues. Together they create a landscape of vibration and memory—individual voices joining into a collective current.

Suspended above this mosaic, two freeform ribbons of neon—turquoise and sky blue—spiral and intertwine in graceful motion. Their luminous paths flow beyond the boundaries of the base, suggesting spirit transcending matter, water merging with air, and energy continuing beyond the visible edge.

Like rivers meeting in still water, Confluence invites a quiet contemplation of how diverse currents—of life, soul, and creation—find unity in movement, and peace in connection.
