What the Water Gave Me
Oil on canvas, 30 x 20 cm 2026
In ‘What the Water Gave me’ a figure, viewed from above, surrenders to the water, arms wide, hair fanning out, body caught between depth and surface. The dark shadow beneath her anchors the composition; the swirling light around her pulls in every direction at once. She is not drowning though, she is letting go.
The title borrows from artist Frida Kahlo, deliberately. Water gives back what the body is elsewhere denied: weightlessness, ease, the sensation of moving without effort or limit.
For Morgan, who is paralysed and paints from her wheelchair, that is not a metaphor. It is a feeling she knows precisely.
Painted in oils on linen, this is an early example of Morgan's figurative work, classically trained at the Florence Academy of Art, and entirely her own.
