“Where the Water Breathes” XL is a visual artwork by Raquel Pellicano that transports the viewer into a suspended, luminous quiet. A serene figure floats on the surface of turquoise water, eyes gently closed, surrounded by roses that drift as if carried by a soft dream. Their petals in shades of blush, ivory and deep red create a constellation of color that moves gently with each ripple. Light glides across her skin in delicate waves, forming patterns that echo both water and breath. The scene holds a rare stillness, a moment in which the body becomes part of the water’s memory and the flowers appear as small emissaries of tenderness. Artist’s Statement This artwork is a meditation on rest, softness and the quiet strength found in surrender. It explores the subtle transformation that takes place when we allow ourselves to float between thoughts, identities and states of being. The roses serve as symbols of renewal and clarity, drifting freely while remaining connected by the same current. The water becomes a place of recollection and release. In this suspended moment, the figure is neither sinking nor rising. She simply exists in harmony with what surrounds her. The viewer is invited to enter this threshold space where calm becomes a form of resilience.
