The Wings of Water

Artist: Ghada Khalid

About the work: This illustration features a faceless figure in a meditative pose, with waves forming wings that extend from its back, seamlessly blending the symbolism of water and flight. The cool blue waves contrast against the warm mustard-yellow background, creating a visually striking balance, while the grainy, paper-like texture adds a vintage, organic feel reminiscent of old posters or prints. The waves as wings serve as a powerful representation of freedom—both elements symbolize movement, boundlessness, and an untamed force of nature. Just as wings allow for flight and exploration, the ocean flows without restriction, adapting to its surroundings yet remaining limitless. The bold, layered text "AS FREE AS THE OCEAN" reinforces this idea, suggesting that true freedom comes from embracing fluidity, self-liberation, and the ability to move through life without constraints. A fusion of surrealism, spiritual symbolism, and graphic design. The message? to be truly free, one must flow, adapt, and rise above limitations -  just like water, just like air.
