In Confession, Central Figures, two fish are clearly visible in the foreground, rendered with heavy strokes of brown, ochre, white, and hints of red. Their eyes are wide and expressive, evoking a sense of alertness or vulnerability. A flurry of abstract, semi-formed fish or eyes blend into a layered, chaotic background. The background is textured with dripping paint and overlapping shapes, suggesting a murky or submerged environment -like water, memory, or emotion. Dominated by earthy tones-browns, creams, whites, and rust-evoking age, decay, or timelessness. The lower part of the canvas turns darker, perhaps suggesting depth, hidden truths, or emotional weight. The painting's layered and tactile surface gives a sense of depth and movement, as if the viewer is peering into a swirling, confessional sea of memory or thought. Fish symbolize transformation, the subconscious, truth, or spirituality. In religious contexts, they can also represent faith or confession-perhaps alluded to in the title. Title - "Confession" suggests revelation, vulnerability, and the act of confronting truths. The chaotic yet focused imagery may symbolize the act of bringing hidden or repressed thoughts (represented by the ghostly fish in the background) into clarity or acknowledgment (the two central fish). The prevalence of eves (some mav be fish eves. some more abstract) suggests themes of surveillance. introspection. or being seen-another laver of the "confession" theme There is an underlying tension in the painting. The two central fish appear as if they are navigating through a sea of judgment, memory, or personal turmoil. The emotional tone leans toward introspective, uneasy, yet revealing.
