We Can’t Ignore
This series is a commentary on how intrinsically connected we are with nature and how our actions affect the health of the planet. I wanted to highlight coral reefs and their inhabitants onto a figure because its deterioration from the rising ocean temperatures is almost easy to ignore - it's out of sight and mind for those who aren't around the ocean. I use bright colors in these works to inspire hope in that, by changing our actions, we can help the vitality of the planet.
