Oil and acrylic on canvas
 
A figure steps into the scene, mid-movement in a small but decisive moment where something begins.
 
Set within the Tropicana Hotel in Ibiza, the space feels open and expansive, like a stage for possibility. The gesture of stepping forward nods to The Fool tarot card - that first move into the unknown, guided more by instinct than certainty.
 
Above, red ibis birds move through the sky, representing freedom and intuition. Seven stars form a subtle constellation - a reference to the chakra system and the symbolism of The Star tarot card, suggesting alignment and renewal.
 
The pool holds a sense of depth and reflection, something shared. This piece speaks to beginnings and that moment of trust where you step forward (or jump!) without needing to know exactly where it will lead.
