1/5 “World Ocean” collection.Pacific Ocean. Mixed-media sculpture.
In my artistic journey, where nature’s vast tapestry serves as my boundless inspiration, it is the clay - be it earthen, polymer, or air-dry—that transforms under my touch, under my fingers into reflections of its boundless beauty. This sculpture, born from the depths of the ocean’s allure, is a testament to its rhythmic waves, vibrant marine life, and hidden stories. This compelling narrative of the ocean, which I have focused on, not only celebrates its dynamic beauty but also carries an important message: the urgent need for its preservation amidst threats like deep sea mining and the endangerment of seagrass habitats. Through this sculpture, may we not only appreciate the ocean’s artistry but also rally for its protection.

Every detail, stamen, or sepal in my artwork is sculpted from scratch.
