TOXIC TIDES, 2025
70cm x 100cm | Ink and Resin on Metal
Toxic Tides captures the quiet violence of chemical pollution, where poisoned waters leave scars long after the chemicals sink from view. Dark tones and reflective resin echo the weight of toxins disposed and spreading through rivers and seas, destroying life silently. This piece is a reminder that what we pour into the earth always finds its way back, to nature, to animals, to us.

BENEATH THE SURFACE, 2025
92cm x 106cm | Ink and Resin on Metal
Beneath the Surface reveals the fragile truth of our oceans. Only 8% are protected, while the rest face overfishing, plastic pollution, bottom trawling and deep sea mining. The calm blues carry the illusion of safety, but darker depths hint at the threats hidden below. This artwork speaks for the vast marine life left vulnerable, urging us to protect what lies unseen before it is gone.

FADING STRIPES, 2025
50cm x 75cm | Acrylic, Ink and Resin on Metal
Fading Stripes reflects the silent disappearance of one of nature’s most iconic animals. Bold black and orange contrast with soft, dissolving edges, symbolizing the tiger’s fading presence in the wild. With fewer than 4,000 left, their roar grows quieter each day. This piece is both a tribute to their strength and a reminder of how close we are to losing them forever.

ECHOES OF THE ICE, 2025
100cm x 150cm | Acrylic, Ink and Resin on Metal
Echoes of the Ice captures the silence of glaciers breaking, ice caps melting, and landscapes once eternal collapsing into water. Deep inks and reflective resin mirror their disappearance, layer by layer, echo by echo. In just 40 years, the Arctic has lost nearly three-quarters of its ice volume. An unraveling that destabilises climates, habitats, and lives across the globe. This work is not just about vanishing ice; it is about vanishing time.

THE VANISHING COLORS, 2025
52cm x 100cm | Acrylic, Ink and Resin on Metal
The Vanishing Colours speaks to the heartbreak of coral reefs fading into silence. Once alive with brilliance, they now turn ghostly white under the stress of rising ocean temperatures. Soft, muted tones and resin’s reflective surface mirror the loss of both colour and life, a beauty slipping beyond reach. Nearly half of the world’s reefs have already been lost, and with them, the ecosystems and communities that depend on their survival. This piece is a reminder of what we stand to lose, and the urgency of protecting what remains.

ENDANGERED BEAUTY, 2024
100cm x 150cm | Acrylic, Ink and Resin on Metal
Endangered Beauty confronts the devastating reality of poaching, where one of the world’s most powerful and graceful creatures is being driven to extinction. Black depths and golden accents capture both the jaguar’s majesty and its fragility of this rare beauty.

VANISHING GIANTS, 2024
100cm x 150cm | Acrylic, Ink and Resin on Metal
Vanishing Giants captures the heartbreak of watching glaciers disappear. Majestic, frozen landscapes reduced to memory. Ink and resin echo their fading strength, reminding us that the loss of these natural wonders is not distant, but happening now.
