24 × 36 inches | Acrylic paint + heavy acrylic gel on gallery-style wood panel

 

Step inside the barrel.

This vertical piece places the viewer deep within a perfect, silver tube, its glassy walls sculpted in thick, shimmering gel that curves overhead like liquid architecture.

At the far end, a circular window of pure, radiant sky opens wide—bright turquoise laced with soft clouds—framing the promise of escape and the roar of light beyond the dark heart of the wave.

Minimal, immersive, and almost spiritual, it’s the moment every surfer lives for: suspended in power, staring straight into beauty.
