Oil on Birchwood
Blush pinks and silvers evoke tenderness and care, layered with darker tones that signal compression and fatigue. The palette mirrors a society that once nurtured intimacy but now suffocates beneath its own density
Calcified Blooms Series
The clownfish represents the individual self—small, alert, and vividly distinct—moving through a world far larger and more complex than itself. The flower, standing in for the anemone, becomes a metaphor for society in a state of calcification: once living and flexible, now slowly hardening under pressure. Its petals tighten and ossify, echoing the modern social climate shaped by anxiety, isolation, over-stimulation, and emotional fatigue. What was meant to protect begins to constrain. The clownfish survives not by force or rebellion, but by adaptation—learning how to exist within a system that is simultaneously nurturing and corrosive. This relationship mirrors the psychological negotiation many experience today: maintaining identity and sensitivity while navigating a society increasingly rigid, reactive, and inward-collapsing.
