Visiting sacred springs all his life, Daniel learned to approach different bodies of water with a sense of reverence. As a child, the direct ceremonial actions of his Grandfather, who made a promise to a spring of water to bring all his newborn children to it as a gesture of gratitude for life, showed him about the belief in the profound energy that lies in all of nature and especially water itself.
Daniel's line work within his murals is representative of the behavior of water; how it moves fluidly and creates life. The work is meant to be a mirror of introspection, of people realizing that the molecular level of water is the foundational structure by which our bodies and all of nature exists.
