It moves — circling, diving, rising, changing direction without warning. Some thoughts we chase. Others we let go. Most we simply watch as they pass through.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Thoughts Swim renders the inner life as water. Koi drift and spiral through layers of color and texture that shift from murky depth to luminous surface, mirroring the way our own thoughts move — sometimes with intention, sometimes with a will entirely their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a painting for anyone who has ever felt the strange, beautiful chaos of their own mind. A reminder that even in the depths, there is movement.

Her work explores memory, emotion, and transformation through layered textures, surreal symbolism, and dreamlike imagery. Influenced by Dalí, Frida Kahlo, and Georgia O'Keeffe, Rita developed her own visual language without formal training — shaped by years in interior design and a lifelong immersion in art and architecture. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind original, made by hand and never reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQuestions or commission inquiries: \u003ca href=\"mailto:info@ritairvin.com\"\u003einfo@ritairvin.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rita Irvin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53722142900542,"sku":"ORIG-WTS","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/9069\/5486\/files\/WhereThoughtsSwim.jpg?v=1781096401","url":"https:\/\/ritairvin.com\/products\/where-thoughts-swim","provider":"Rita Irvin Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
