Title: Cost of Becoming by Summer Jiang
A figure sits half-submerged in a blue river beneath a large eucalyptus and a pink-orange sunset — a body resting, having paid the full cost of its own movement forward.
Hand-signed limited edition of 49, supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
Presence
Portrait-format canvas. Acrylic mineral pigments in expressive application. Dominant green foliage and blue river tones intersect with pink and orange sunset passages. A large eucalyptus anchors the left side. A figure sits partially submerged in the river foreground. Rich, layered colour throughout.Art Story
This painting came from a river where I stopped swimming against the current. The eucalyptus was enormous — it had been there longer than any decision I ever made. I sat in the water and felt the cost of every fight I had waged to get to this point. Becoming is not free. Everything I had been through was the price, and the river was the receipt.Spatial Function
This work introduces depth and natural warmth into contemplative spaces. The vertical format and lush colour create an immersive quality suited to living rooms, reading spaces, or private offices where sustained attention and reflection are valued.Summer Jiang

Summer Jiang
Summer Jiang trained at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA). A committed camper and hiker, she works in large-scale acrylic, translating the colour and movement of the Australian landscape into pieces built to hold a wall.
Each limited edition print is produced from her original work using professional eco-solvent inks with UV protection — waterproof, scratch-resistant, and made to hold their colour through 10–20 years of indoor display.
