Beneath the Surface

Where the ocean meets the stars, an homage to the vast unknowns above and below.

Drifting through a dreamlike sea, these celestial whale sharks glide silently beneath a surface that blurs the boundaries between ocean and cosmos. Inspired by the graceful mystery of these gentle giants, each shadow box captures a moment suspended in deep time, where starlight dapples their skin and golden fish move like constellations in orbit.

Hand-painted with shimmering watercolor textures and flecked with cosmic gold, each layered piece evokes the feeling of an underwater wonder. The shadows and depth created by the collage technique add quiet movement, inviting the viewer to float alongside these ancient beings in a world where sea and sky become one.
