Duldrum
Oil on canvas (15”x 30”)
The doldrums otherwise known as the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone is a place in the Atlantic Ocean near the equator where there is no wind. The heat hitting the water causes the wind to rise rather than blow horizontally. The doldrums are where trade winds meet and cancel out each other. Stagnation has killed many sailors here. The doldrums to me signify the quiet yet necessary days of my voyage. In order to find wind in your sails you must wait, after all, it takes years to blow up overnight.
