With its rich textures and flowing tide of oceanic colour, Still Rising speaks of quiet strength and transformation. Inspired by a moment of unexpected beauty in the studio — a paint-soaked tea towel left behind — this piece continues the story of noticing the ordinary and letting it become extraordinary.
Tones of deep teal, sea green, golden ochre, and violet blend and surge through textured layers, like currents shifting beneath the surface. There’s a sense of something stirring — a landscape awakening, a wave forming, something deep and powerful that’s rising but not yet breaking. The surface bears soft marks, cracked textures, and delicate detail, inviting the eye to slow down and discover more with every glance.
As part of the Everyday Alchemy collection, Still Rising reminds us of our own quiet resilience — that even in stillness, we grow. Even when nothing looks like it’s moving, something within us is changing. It’s a piece about presence, patience, and the subtle beauty of becoming.
