Link 1 - Ripple, acrylic latex on scrap wood, by Tova Speter

Ripple juxtaposes the lines of a ripple in the water with the natural grain patterns flowing in the wooden background. It explores the question of how our actions reverberate in the world when considered against a backdrop of things moving in different directions. Though we each may be an individual drop, this piece invites you to embrace your potential to cause a ripple effect, multiplying the positive impact we can offer.
