Frozen Waves, Radha Saikia, 2023, acrylic on canvas, 10 x 8 in. / 25.4 x 20.32 cm.

The title is a reference to the season in which this scene takes place. Even in the freezing temperatures of winter, these waves rush the rocks instinctually. It is instinct for waves to crash on rocks as it is for mammals to seek food. In this painting, the rhythmic violence is frozen in time.
