Stemming from an encounter with volcanic waters inside an
Icelandic cave, a series of later meditations gave rise to the image
of the black pool in my subconscious. Visions of shimmering
dark pools began to appear in my dreams with increasing
frequency as I prepared to give birth in 2021. The black pools
were apparitions of a life force both cosmic and primal; painting
them became a reservoir for my subconscious.
