In her Waves series, Brianna Lance delves into the serene, rhythmic experience of meditation, capturing the sensation of floating between realms—physical and metaphysical. Lance likens this state to being cradled by the ocean’s undulating surface, the gentle rise and fall of the water reflecting the ebb and flow of the mind during deep meditation. It’s from this nuanced connection that Waves emerges, a collection of works imbued with a tranquil yet dynamic energy.

Lance’s creative process itself mirrors meditation—methodical and repetitive—each wave she paints becoming a testament to the mindfulness required in her craft. With watercolors, she continues to expand this series, introducing the sky as a counterpart to the sea. The sun, reduced to its most minimal, hovers above like a calm sentinel, while clouds with hidden faces drift through the compositions, adding a quiet, dreamlike quality. The interplay between these elements feels effortless, yet deeply intentional, creating a sense of harmony that transcends the visual. Like the ocean itself, Waves pulls the viewer into its depths, inviting reflection in the same slow, steady cadence that inspired its creation.
