This one has a couple of shapes that symbolize something precious and full of fragile possibility-- a flame, a seed, an egg… something that deserves to be fiercely guarded. Something not ready to be born yet. An infinity nested inside another infinity, waiting, hoping to survive long enough to begin.

When I painted this, I kept thinking about the state of our planet, wondering if the ecosystem we know will survive or not. And if not, what life will be born out of our disaster? We won't see it. Tiamat was the primordial mother dragon of chaos who gave birth to the gods. Maybe there will be another age of Tiamat.
