"Appealing Tides of Excess"
Watercolor on paper | 2024
This watercolor piece explores the paradox of abundance and waste, represented by an orange peeling as it reveals layers of excess. A girl floats within the orange, symbolizing both vulnerability and the delicate balance between human consumption and environmental impact. Set against the backdrop of the ocean, the painting evokes a sense of isolation amidst overwhelming resources, with the tides of excess washing away the potential for renewal. The piece calls attention to the destructive consequences of waste, highlighting the disconnect between nature's abundance and the degradation caused by overindulgence. Through the peeling orange and its symbolic meaning, the work reflects the fragility of the world’s resources and the urgent need for awareness and change.
