Among the pages of my husband’s 1979 travel diary, I found a simple note: Flying fish on deck. Just a few words. Enough to set my imagination in motion. This painting is my interpretation of that moment, somewhere in the Atlantic during his voyage from Santos to Rotterdam. Built through layers of paint, collage, and fragments of handwriting, the work moves between what was recorded and what can only be imagined. It is less about depicting an event than exploring how memories and stories survive – in traces, fragments, and the spaces between them.
