Due to the ongoing pandemic, more and more people are losing faith in life in China. When the zero-Covid policy was eased, we thought we would have a brand-new start. Unfortunately, we didn't realize it would be the start of yet another nightmare. More and more people around me got infected with Covid, including myself. What we face is that we cannot buy medicine in pharmacies. We cannot go to the hospital to see a doctor. We cannot even enter a crematorium after we die because too many people have died at the same time.
For this design, I pictured a sunrise scene with jewelry. Black onyx represents waves, as well as the pandemic we are experiencing. Color scheme inspired by the painting Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet. It was designed with a purple emerald cut Kunzite, purple and blue sapphires, and white diamonds, and decorated with orange round sapphires. Allow the sunrise's light to dispel the haze and bring us hope and restore normalcy.
I started by drawing on paper in pencil, then sketching with Procreate on the iPad.

The ocean -both wild and calm, dangerous and beautiful -is made up of contradictions and mystery.There is nothing like standing at the edge of the ocean. As each wave moves one after the other, our senses cannot be ignited. To smell that salty sea breeze, to see its vastness as our eyes sweep the horizon to grasp its end, and to feel a little peace amid the loud roar or stillness: these are feelings that only the ocean can inspire.This design is inspired by the ocean and whales. Whales have always been mysterious to me. Whenever the name of the ocean comes up, I think of whales. The way they swim in the water and the beautiful sound make the waves beautiful. They have an amazing communication system through which they communicate with other whales. They are connected with mysticism and spirituality and have a deep connection with nature and are spiritual guides. They receive the vibrations of the environment and respond intuitively. They have the loudest sound with a frequency of more than 188 decibels and this sound can be heard up to a distance of 800 km. This is how they find their mate. This frequency is so amazing that if you swim in the water where the whales are and tune into the vibrational quality of the sound, you will experience sympathetic vibration and release mental blockages and heal. This sound is soothing and beautiful.In this design, considering the value of the ocean in the whole world, I showed the ocean itself with Opal and the waves with blue sapphire and diamonds, and the green gem also represents the vibrations and the beautiful sound of whales. Pearls are also part of the ocean.

The ocean is something amazing! It has many symbolic meanings such as abundance and chaos. One can talk endlessly about its nature and inhabitants inhabiting the depths. In many religions (Islam, Hinduism), the ocean personifies the infinite divine principle. In ancient Greek mythology, this is a separate person, the point of appearance of everything earthly. You can once again delve into history by finding more and more characters. But what if we check the depth of the Ocean within ourselves?The author compares the ocean with the Holy Scriptures. Luke 20 verse 38 says, “God is not the God of the dead,but of the living, for with him all are alive.”Someone will clearly ask if everyone is alive ?? This verse is most difficult for the unprepared to understand. In times of war, verse 38 is most relevant. In war, mankind suffers colossal losses. (In order to say what war is, I would need a separate sheet.) Humanity is faced with death. The fact that all people are alive today may seem like a fantasy. Man has always learned from nature and its phenomena. Nature is the best proof of Divine love. Just look at the ocean! It is a single living organism. Like all of us, He is part of the divine. Everything that enters the waters of the Ocean dies for external life, but acquires another life. Sunken ships become a home for the inhabitants of the ocean depths. Even garbage can become a home for small creatures. (picture 2) There is nothing dead or unnecessary in the Ocean, it is a single organism saturated with life.Let's always remember that the Ocean lives in each of Us. This is a great symbol of life even after life itself. If we plunge into ourselves, we will find there not only something amazing, but also something that makes us horrified. Our shortcomings can take on different forms of predators. Illustration 1 talks about immersing yourself in prayer. Who will you meet if you are left alone with yourself? A wave of feelings will cover you? Very often people are afraid of loneliness. But why? Perhaps looking into your inner ocean is not so easy.Whatever your weather is within us, we all must remember that the Lord is Love! Love is above all the purity of our inner currents and waters. (picture 3) Love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Inspiration is the ocean floor, the beauty, ecology, depth and mystery of the ocean. In the works, the colors of the ocean, the depth and the destructive elements are strongly expressed.In my works, I have used the latest techniques in painting, such as chemical surface treatment and eco-printing in painting. The ocean performs an important environmental function: it plays a large role in the existence of life on Earth and in shaping the climate, influences the composition of the atmosphere, and is an important storehouse of mineral resources.
