POLLUTION in our oceans and the sight of floating trash bags in our once pristine waters serves as a powerful symbol of the environmental crisis we face. As I dive deeper into the waters of my creative process, I shape and sculpt torn plastic trash bags into translucent tentacles of floating jellyfish in an immersive aquatic setting. Delicately swimming within resin and other painted layers, symbolizing the delicate balance between humanity's choices and the vulnerability of marine life.

THE PLASTIC WASTE mimics the graceful movements of real creatures floating in the water, giving each piece a unique form and texture, hand pulled to become one of many layers that build the depth that lays beyond.
