In the rhythm of the future

“In the Rhythm of the Future”: she sits on the edge of a pool with her feet in the water, and her silhouette is full of stars. The light is inside her. He is already in the water, head up, looking at her from below.

“In the Rhythm of the Future”, 110 × 90 cm, oil worked over mixed media.

The background is deep space. The scene is ordinary: a pool, an evening, two people.

There is no demand in how he looks at her. He does not call her down, does not reach for her hand, does not plan to change anything about her.

Half a metre of air between them, and both are fine with it, which for two grown adults is rare.

The stars inside her figure went in one dot at a time, so she is made of the same stars as the sky and still reads separately from it.

Its wall is in a living room or bedroom, opposite a window: the stars wake up in daylight.
