• All of his work tends to have two different worlds; the world above the water and the world below the water. I think the underlying meaning is that the water is the barrier. When you're in the water, there is a completely different feeling than if you were outside of the water.
• Her artwork has a lot of mystery. What is happening above the water? What is below the people's feet? What is she reaching for?
• There are a variety of principals of art that's present in her work. For example, she has a lot of emphasis, space, and color.
