This painting, Lagoon, captures a striking duality—two figures immersed in water, yet experiencing vastly different emotions. One radiates serenity, her face lifted in peaceful surrender to the moment. The other is burdened, her gaze heavy with frustration, sadness, or contemplation.

The water, textured with movement and depth, acts as both a barrier and a connection between them. The soft, pastel sky contrasts with the cool, restless sea, adding an ethereal quality to the scene.
