Jellyfish do not swim so much as write. In the darkness of the deep, each body becomes a brushstroke — a flowing chain like cursive script, a racing line, a cube, a perfect circle. The series ends with a single red jellyfish: the artist's vermilion seal, closing the scroll. All six works share one ink — the deep indigo of the sea — drawn by living light.
