Description

An old wooden chest rests deep in cool blue-green water, spilling gold coins and glittering jewels across the seafloor. A soft jellyfish glows nearby, trailing pale tendrils, while small striped and spotted fish weave in and out of purple anemone, utterly unimpressed by all that wealth. None of them know, or seem to care, that they’re swimming past a fortune. Nicole Martin painted this as a metaphor for something she believes deeply: every person carries an immortal, greater self, wearing an ordinary human body as a way to exist in this dense physical world. Meanwhile, most of us swim right past our own depths every day, going about ordinary business. Additionally, this painting interrupts that unawareness gently. What treasure lies undiscovered, deep and forgotten in you? Your forgotten treasure is still there, patient as the sea. What greatness in yourself have you left undiscovered too long?
