36”x36”, Acrylic, Paint Marker and Pens on gallery stretched canvas

This work is an abstract coral reef—an imagined underwater cosmos where memory, biology, and emotion bloom in radiant, fragile layers. It is a portrait of life in constant negotiation: vibrant, vulnerable, and interdependent.

Corals, like the forms in this piece, are both individuals and collectives. They thrive in clusters, grow slowly, and build entire worlds over time—worlds that nourish and protect. In this painting, each shape, each saturated hue, functions as a living cell in a much larger organism. Together, they form a landscape that pulses with energy, complexity, and quiet urgency.

Emerging from a black void that suggests both ocean depth and the unconscious, these forms speak to the richness of what lies beneath visibility—ancestral knowledge, biological processes, unspoken emotions. They ask us to consider what is usually unseen or overlooked, and to listen to the wisdom held in our internal reefs.

This piece reflects not only my fascination with the aesthetics of marine life, but also my reverence for the delicate systems—both ecological and emotional—that sustain us. It invites the viewer to float, drift, and submerge into a realm where science meets spirit, and color becomes a language for survival.
