Tides

Theme: Subtle yet constant change. Rhythms beyond your control. Symbolism: Emotional cycles, phases of life, surrender, divine timing. Imagery Ideas: Minimalist waves gently rising and falling A moon tethered to ocean tides A silhouette standing ankle-deep in water as it recedes

The Great Wave

Theme: Overwhelm, force, surrender—or rebirth after destruction. Symbolism: External events that crash into your internal world. Reference: The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai (famous ukiyo-e print). Imagery Ideas: A massive wave curling over a tiny figure (modern or classical style) Digital twist: pixelated or glitch-wave Juxtapose chaos vs calm (stillness in the center of a crashing wave)
