In this piece, O'Connor explores the intersection of rigid geometry and fluid natural forms. Using colorful striped patterns and curving lines of light, she builds a sense of dynamic motion that travels across the landscape orientation. The work utilizes textured paper to add physical depth to the varied blue hues, allowing the pigment to settle into the grain and mimic the organic irregularities of water.

The composition is grounded in a cohesive design that balances dense clusters of color with open, breathable areas. By applying abstract geometric designs to a wave motif, the artist makes a clear design decision to prioritize the feeling of energy over literal representation. The result is a study of effective space where the white of the paper serves as a highlight, suggesting the froth of a breaking crest.
