2018, I went on a family trip to Acadia National Park in Maine. Of course, I researched ahead to see if there was anything I could take advantage of while taking vacations. It’s always good to have an excellent time with your family, but even more satisfying to create new artwork while doing so. Maybe, in my case, it eases the guilt of not working a little. Since I am a father, there has been a permanent fight between the timeshare of my two children: my daughter and my work. I like both, so I try to improvise. In the case of Bubble Rock, it was an enjoyable experience. A beautiful hike and a quick photoshoot. Before we left, I went to a copy shop to print out the eyes and the tongue as a giant sticker. I thought it was funny to use the Rolling Stones tongue since it is a rolling stone or looks like one.

Bubble Rock is a photo I would love to hang in my living room. The image reminds us gently and humorously how nature must feel at this moment. Again, I know that nature does not care, but we should. It’s us humans pushing our natural livelihood out of balance. It’s also just a funny photo, which can be reason enough to like something. And often, as I create my artworks, some are love at first sight, and Bubble Rock is that for me.
