In this layered, painterly work from the Psychology of Trees series, I transform a natural form into a symbolic figure of resilience and quiet resistance. Through atmospheric depth and the delicate application of gold inspired by the Japanese Maki-e tradition, the piece reflects on memory, fragility, and the enduring presence of nature in an uncertain world. Both contemplative and luminous, the work invites viewers into an emotional landscape where beauty and impermanence coexist.

This work explores silence as an essential compositional force, drawing parallels between visual stillness and musical pauses. Through softened forms, atmospheric restraint, and deliberate negative space, the image transforms a simple still life into a meditation on presence, absence, and emotional subtlety. It invites viewers to engage not with what is shown, but with what is withheld.

The image explores how light not only reveals but reshapes reality, inviting viewers into a contemplative dialogue between presence and impermanence. This work revisits a fleeting morning in Pebble Beach where light transformed a forest into a transient, almost sacred space. Two distant figures emerge as symbolic travelers within a larger meditation on time, memory, and perception. 

This work explores the fragile boundary between presence and disappearance through a fragmented botanical form. Layered with atmospheric textures and ghostlike echoes, the image transforms a flower into a symbol of memory, resistance, and multiplicity. It reflects the artist’s ongoing dialogue with impermanence, where beauty is not preserved, but allowed to evolve, fracture, and resonate across emotional states.

In this monochrome botanical abstraction, I transform the interior of a flower into a dreamlike gathering of translucent forms. The image reveals how the natural world, when seen through a contemplative lens, can shift from botanical study to poetic metaphor, inviting viewers into a space where biology, memory, and imagination quietly converge.
