SaraMarie Bottaro, Underwater Rhythms of the Moment
“Dance with the waves, move with the sea, let the rhythm of the water set your soul free.”
-Christy Ann Martine
When looking to reflect on one’s own humanity, artists look to nature. The Inside-Out gallery featured artist, SaraMarie Bottaro, takes beautifully ornate organic patterns and transforms them into the twisting powerful images of the sea. This theme explores the duality of the ocean—its unpredictability and infinite movement. The fluidity of each stroke echoes the ebb and flow of tide, bringing us closer to ourselves and somehow renewed with each visit to the shore.
Take a moment and experience this for yourself by visiting the Inside-Out gallery (at the CVS window) in Davis Square)
