Description
“DEEP is inspired by a particular act of an amazing cirque show in Las Vegas. The song from the black-and-white scene is titled ‘Deep’ and shows a figure below the surface of projected, simulated water. One morning, while listening to the music from this scene, I visualized it in a flood of color—the figure surfacing the deep, ocean blues to the red-orange sunset sky. Fresh in my mind’s eye, I hurried and grabbed my drawing pad and color-sketched it. The figure was drawn from a picture I took of myself in pose and used the ‘blind contour’ technique (drawing without looking at the paper) to abstract it. The bubbles and figure catch orange light from the sunset. Some people see the figure as drowning, while others see it surfacing. For me, the message is about going ‘deep’ within oneself and surfacing to discover a beautiful, powerful being.” ~Darin Jones
