Canvas Print - "Still Water, Silent Longing"

At the edge of the lake, as the sun sets over the highlands of Papua New Guinea, an elderly couple stands in quiet reflection. Every evening, they return to this spot — hoping, waiting. Their only son once went out fishing and never returned. Unbeknownst to them, he was taken by crocodiles and transformed into one of them by the spirits of the river. Yet their hearts cling to the hope that he’ll one day return as the son they knew.

This artwork captures the pain of loss, the power of love, and the spiritual depth of Pacific Island storytelling — where the natural world and the supernatural are forever intertwined.
