Hour of Convergence was inspired by coastal explorations during exceptionally low tides. Starfish gatherings within shallow communal tidal pools give us a few precious hours to observe their secret lives. Our own world sometimes feels isolating and scary, but starfish are symbolic ambassadors of hope, regeneration and community. –Artist statement
