About the work

Two large rounded lobes rise symmetrically from a deep teal background, their pale cream surfaces etched with delicate veining and crowned by a smaller oval form above — evoking something between lungs, leaves, and wings. The cool turquoise palette and softly textured paint create a meditative, otherworldly atmosphere.
