death net

Part of the Lost Seas series, the artist translates the fragile essence of marine ecosystems through masterful wet-in-wet watercolor techniques. Fluid, blooming washes of cerulean, violet, and rust give way to rigid, lattice-like geometries that map a critical visual parallel. As the artist notes, the natural, repetitive patterns of the coral fans deliberately mirror the woven grids of commercial fishing nets. This formal overlap grounds a sharp environmental critique, contrasting the organic vitality of the reef with the destructive architecture of overfishing that threatens its natural lifecycle.
