Few of Thao's works require interpretation.  The landscapes, seascapes, wildlife and portraits which are often her focus can be enjoyed simply.  That is not to say that her work carries no symbolism.  This stream is fed from a well known spring called "The Blue Hole".  It is flowed for millennia.  On one side you will find a timeless sanctuary that has no equal within a thousand miles.  Across the stream is the University of Incarnate Word.  What Thao will tell you of this work is that there is a bridge connecting the two sides.  Is it finished?  I don't know.  You decide.
