From an aerial perspective, Indigo Passage captures a fleeting, reverent moment—the glide of an orca cutting silently through dark northern waters. Painted at scale, the composition draws the viewer into the vast quiet of oceanic space, where shadow and light distort, refract, and bend through shifting surface tension.
The orca’s form, sleek and sovereign, emerges like a phantom beneath layers of indigo, ink, and cobalt. Ripples radiate from its motion, yet no wake disturbs the stillness. The refraction of light folds color into itself, obscuring boundaries between water and sky, illusion and presence.
This piece is a meditation on grace within power, of presence without spectacle. Every inch of its 96-inch span carries the weight of silence, the reverberation of depth, and the unseen rhythms of a life lived below.
“This is not just a portrait of an orca,” says Nikki, “it’s a study of what slips past us when we stop paying attention—of how beauty, like the tide, moves quiet and vast, whether we notice or not.”
