Thalassa

Thalassa is a richly layered work by Caledonia Curry, known as Swoon, combining acrylic and metallic paint with paper collage on salvaged wood. The piece reflects Swoon's signature street art aesthetic, weaving intricate figurative imagery with organic, flowing forms that evoke the mythology of Thalassa, the primordial Greek spirit of the sea. The use of reclaimed wood as a substrate adds a raw, textural depth that reinforces the work's connection to natural and found materials.
