A field of flowing lines pulses with movement—each strand distinct, yet inseparable from the whole. Colours bend and weave like memory itself, echoing the rhythm of a journey shaped not just by place, but by people. Swizzle Cycle draws from time spent in Bermuda, where stories unfolded as easily as conversation, and strangers became something closer to kin.

Inspired by the tradition of the Bermuda Rum Swizzle—often called the island’s national drink—this piece reflects more than the cocktail itself; it speaks to the act of gathering. Historically mixed in large vessels and shared among friends, the swizzle is less about precision and more about participation. Recipes vary from family to family, often including dark and light rum, citrus juices, sugar, and bitters, stirred with a “swizzle stick” cut from a local tree. It’s a drink shaped by contribution, improvisation, and community.

One story, passed along like the drink itself, told of a group ritual—ingredients brought individually, poured together, and mixed in the most unexpected of vessels: a washing machine. A playful, almost mythical act of collective creation. Once complete, the mixture would be shared out again, each person taking a part of the whole. Whether literal or embellished, the story carries a truth: when people come together, offering what they have, something richer emerges.

The lines in this piece behave in much the same way. Each colour follows its own path, yet is guided and influenced by those around it. There is no hierarchy—only flow, exchange, and subtle tension. Moments of convergence and divergence mirror the way conversations unfold, how friendships form, and how shared experiences ripple outward.

At its core, Swizzle Cycle is about connection—the beauty of collective energy, and how contributing to something larger than ourselves creates something more vibrant, more complex, and more alive.

This piece was created at the close of a deeply memorable journey to Bermuda—a place that left a lasting impression on me.

During my time there, I joined staff from the Hamilton Princess in collecting plastic along the shoreline—an experience that grounded the island’s beauty with a quiet awareness of its fragility.

Walking the coast, I caught a fleeting moment out of the corner of my eye: the sky seemed to echo the rhythm of the sea. The soft, undulating forms of the waves were mirrored above, as if the horizon had dissolved and both elements were speaking the same visual language. That moment stayed with me.

This work explores that convergence—where ocean and sky blur into one continuous flow. The layered lines build movement and atmosphere, suggesting both the gentle pull of the tide and the shifting light of a final sunrise or sunset. It reflects on endings, but also on the kind of experiences that don’t really end—those that settle into you and stay.

Bermuda, with its colour, energy, and quiet beauty, is a place I’ll carry with me. This piece holds onto that feeling—of being present in a moment where everything felt briefly, perfectly connected.

This work reflects a moment of quiet clarity—being away from home and finding a deep sense of contentment within yourself. Inspired by time spent in Bermuda, it explores the idea of a mental “factory reset,” where distance brings perspective and the noise of everyday life begins to soften. It speaks to those rare moments where you stop looking ahead or behind and simply settle into where you are, feeling at ease without needing anything more.

Through flowing lines and layered colour, the piece captures a steady, rhythmic movement—like breath returning to a natural pace. The shifting bands of colour move in harmony rather than contrast, echoing a sense of balance and acceptance. There is no urgency here, only presence. It reflects the experience of slowing down, enjoying time with family, and recognising a quiet fullness in life—where, for a moment, everything feels complete in itself.
