'Megalodon: The Rising'
20 x 30 inches, oils on canvas
 
Megalodon does not rush.
Long before names, before coastlines learned their shapes, it ruled the oceans with a patience earned by size alone. Forty, maybe sixty feet of living pressure. Each movement displaced water the way mountains displace air. It didn’t need speed to inspire fear. Its presence rewrote the rules of the sea.
 
Below the surface, Megalodon was architecture, bone and muscle arranged for inevitability. Teeth the size of hands, serrated like a storm made solid, designed not just to kill but to erase. Whales were not hunted, they were corrected. One strike, and the ocean learned silence.
 
What made Megalodon terrifying was not aggression, but certainty. It chose when something ended. Prey never saw chaos, only a shadow widening, a pressure change, a cold instinct screaming too late. The sea itself seemed to part for it, as if recognizing an authority older than fear.
 
When it vanished, the ocean grew quieter, not safer. Nature did not replace it. It moved on.
 
And even now, when deep water darkens and light breaks into pillars, the imagination still places a shape there. Rising. Not because it must, but because once, it did.
The ocean remembers what it was like to be ruled. And Now AGAIN..
