Becoming rivers explores how our lives are shaped by the encounters, experiences and changes that gradually become part of who we are. I was inspired by the way streams find their course, gathering water from different sources and moving through landscapes that continuously change around them. The painting's flowing contours approach, overlap and separate, suggesting both the movement of rivers and the unexpected directions our own lives can take.

I used acrylic, natural sand and mineral pigments to create a textured surface with delicate silver and golden reflections. As the light changes, different layers become visible, giving the composition a sense of movement and depth. The circular format reinforces the idea of continuity. For me, becoming is not about reaching a fixed destination, but about allowing what we encounter to shape the journey.
