This artwork is part of a series titled swimming towards the light. Swimming towards the light is a representation of being too deep underwater. It’s dark, it’s cold, it’s quiet. Your logic brain knows that it is ok, you will swim up and everything is fine. However, your survival brain panics a little about making it to the surface.

Frozen solid is a companion piece to ice cold. While in ice cold, you are frozen in place, frozen solid is a break through the surface. It is progress in getting out of the freeze response, the darker blues are a ripple in the surface against the icy light blues.
