Description:
Surge of Persistence portrays the relentless journey of sea turtles as they navigate the vast, unpredictable ocean currents. Each wave and splash of color on the canvas reflects the spontaneous power of the sea, where every movement is instinct-driven and unplanned, embodying the resilience of creatures that adapt to nature’s whims. Keatley’s muted blues represent the ocean’s challenges, while vibrant splashes of orange add humanity’s creative spirit, signifying our shared drive to thrive within an unpredictable world.
This work captures the ongoing dance between creature and environment, where every interaction is influenced by the natural world’s unstructured beauty. Surge of Persistence celebrates both the strength and spontaneity of life’s journey, mirroring the resilience that exists within both nature and humanity.
Through this piece, Keatley highlights the unpredictable yet harmonious relationship between humans and animals, honoring their shared persistence and adaptability.
