This was my final for my 2D design class, where we had to show a paranoia. Mine is oceans, eluding the the infinity of depth one can perceive while at the surface of water (paralleled by the infintely high vertical towers in the first image), showing in the center an idyllic scene but contrasting it on the sides with metaphors for how this same image can becomre terrifying for me.

The first painting was done without reference, while the second two were made after looking at some pictures of water, and hence the reason why the are substantially better.

I can feel exactly what this is trying to convey; you've really got the fear at sense of depth. There used to be a lake in Russia filled with perfectly clear water that was so deep that people got vertigo by just standing at the edge...unfortunately I think it's been drained... But it just goes to show that this sort of thing is real. The giant monoliths in the water greatly emphasise this. Superb.
I would have loved to visit a place like that. Scared out of my brains, bu t it would be a good time.
