LOOKING INWARDS

Through this collection, I seek to explore the depths of the human psyche, drawing inspiration from the vibrant and diverse life of coral reefs. With a nod to the oceanic theme, each painting employs a variety of techniques, including intricate layering, textural manipulation, and a nuanced use of color to capture the delicate balance of our inner worlds. From the pulsing vibrancy of a healthy ecosystem to the quiet introspection of an inner sea, each painting invites the viewer on a journey inward to explore the nuances of the human psyche.

 

These works also serve as a tribute to the transformative power of self-exploration and mental health, highlighting the importance of cultivating a healthy and balanced internal ecosystem. Just as a coral reef requires a delicate balance of nutrients, light, and space to thrive, so too must we attend to the needs of our own mental and emotional landscapes in order to achieve optimal health and well-being.

To give back to our world, I've decided that I will be donating a portion of the proceeds to ocean conservation and coral preservation foundations. 🪸

It's intentionally presented in a reverse sequence, beginning with the final piece. As you scroll down, you traverse deeper, delving into the intricate landscape of your mind. Each image represents a distinct 'headspace', offering glimpses into your thoughts, emotions, and the essence of your internal realm. It's an invitation to immerse yourself in these moments, to contemplate, resonate, and connect with them. By acknowledging and embracing these facets of your psyche, you begin to understand yourself better, ultimately attaining harmony.

Thank you so much for being here! This has been one of my longest projects. It look me about 6 months to make. There have been so many trial and error pieces that didn't make the cut. I had to take breaks in between so that I can stay on the right track and make pieces that I was happy with. 

​

I'd love to hear which piece you've connected to the most. Let me know!
