Lifetimes is the most complex and time-consuming piece of Becca's 2025 fishscape collection. For Becca this piece was born out of a want to honour her ideas and creative urges. Like many artists our minds are literally swimming with ideas, and it can be burdening at times, especially if you suffer from decision paralysis. This piece is about finding beauty in the chaos, and accepting your mind as it is even if it is scattered. It also plays on the idea that there are many courses we can take in our life, that may lead to different outcomes, but at the end of the day all of those potential “lifetimes” are you so just trust your instincts and dive in. This original is bound to be a conversation starter - with so many fish to study, and new shadows and dimensions appearing as the daylight progresses. It is blanketed in a soft off-white for simplicity, with endless framing options for personalization. 
 
Becca's fishscapes are inspired by many hours spent as a child watching fish under the dock, or through the ice. She used to do this for so long that she would see swimming fish when she closed her eyes to sleep. These works honour those memories, and remind you to let your imagination run wild. The negative space backgrounds are metaphors for the inner conscience and imagination.  All fishscapes take on a new life depending on the lighting. In low-light conditions, shadows of each fish appear and make the work very dynamic. 
 
Becca's fishscapes have been described as being meditative, calming, energizing and grounding. She affectionately calls them her "living fossils" - preserving memories and nostalgia in stone, but still very much alive.
