Creating awareness of the plights of emperor penguins.

The ice is melting a lot quicker than predicted, and the penguin population is quickly and literally losing ground. It is predicted that by the end of the century, they will be extinct.

Vibrant colors infuse a sense of optimism, reflecting hope rather than a depiction of despair.

To distill and process the global chaos while creating breathing space within my work and within myself, I intricately draw out sections in a lace-like formation. This not only reveals the interplay between fragility and strength, mirroring the dichotomy inherent in our planet and our relationship with it, but also intersects symbolic culture by linking concepts, cultures, objects, and events. This emphasizes our interconnectedness across time and underscores the need for a balanced coexistence because we depend on one another.

In this painting these symbols are organized in the shape of a hurricane and in the ice shapes which will seize to exist of warmer temperatures move in.
