Rumination 3:26 is an exploration of the deeply personal and often chaotic thought-beasts that visit during the early morning hours. This watercolor weaves together elements of introspection, subconscious and worry. The composition is intentionally layered and surreal, encouraging viewers to look closely and discover hidden elements. These details represent the multifaceted layers of the mind as it processes memory, instinct and self-awareness.

The muted color palette of earthy browns and greens mirrors the grounding essence of the natural world, while the juxtaposition of open eyes and closed expressions reflects the tension between clarity and uncertainty in moments of rumination. This piece invites viewers to reflect on their own connections to their thoughts. It is a meditation on transformation and cycles of grappling with beasts of the imagination.
