About the SeriesThis evocative series of paintings by Amiri Geuka Farris captures the essence of the Sea Islands through layered, fluid compositions rendered in a striking palette of indigo blue. Infused with movement, memory, and identity, the works blend landscape and cultural symbolism in a way that feels both timeless and contemporary. Graceful herons and egrets—icons of the marshlands and tidal rhythms of the Sea Islands—take center stage. Farris’ signature drips, splashes, and rhythmic brushwork mimic the flow of water, symbolizing not only the region’s physical landscape but also the currents of time and ancestral memory. Boats, trees, and silhouettes echo through the layers, tying the series to Gullah Geechee traditions and evoking stories of resilience, journey, and belonging.
