"Oceans Deep" is a profound journey of self-discovery and empathy—a testament to the beauty found within and the courage to embrace one's uniqueness. Through introspection and vulnerability, we unlock the capacity to extend genuine assistance to others, seeing them through eyes of understanding and compassion.

Each nuanced shade on the skin of a beautiful black woman represents a brush stroke of individuality. Adorned in shades, she symbolizes the journey of self-discovery, gazing towards a future of peace and purpose as a fisher of humanity.

The intricate use of Japanese papers depicting Koi fish echoes the woman's journey, intertwined with the majestic curls of her afro. Mountains and shorelines in the distance beckon viewers towards distant shores of tranquility, while embedded flowers reflect resilience and growth in seemingly shallow waters.

"Oceans Deep" invites contemplation on the resilience of the human spirit, flourishing despite adversity and embracing the radiant beauty found within and around us.
