“You are Here” captures a quiet, introspective moment of solitude and grounding. A Black woman sits peacefully on the shoreline, her gaze gently fixed on the horizon where sky meets sea. The soft palette of golden yellows, muted blues, and warm earth tones creates a soothing backdrop, evoking the end of a day or the dawn of new clarity.

Her posture—calm, rooted, and at ease—embodies a sacred pause. The ocean before her symbolizes emotional depth and healing, while the sky, awash in layered clouds and sunlight, suggests the unseen guidance of spirit and time. She is not just resting—she is listening: to the waves, to her breath, to her own intuition.

This piece reflects themes of self-reflection, renewal, and the quiet power of being present. It invites viewers to slow down, trust the tides of life, and honor the still moments where transformation begins.
