6x6 Original Collage Art | Receding Waves by Shilo Ratner

Receding Waves is an original mixed media collage on paper that captures the quiet rhythm of water pulling back from shore. Simplified wave forms in blue, white, and sand distill a moment of movement and calm into an intimate piece of original collage art — balanced, meditative, and textural.

About This Original Collage

I created this piece from a memory of standing at the water's edge — the way the ocean resets itself with each receding wave, unhurried and inevitable. I built it on archival Rives BFK paper, layering hand-painted paper, canvas, and collage materials to capture that same sense of stillness in motion. It's a piece of contemporary wall art rooted in the natural world — made for people who find beauty in repetition and quiet.

"Sitting by the water's edge and watching the waves recede is like a meditation."
