Coral Reef 2024 Oil on canvas, mounted on a wooden stretcher frame — 100 × 80 cm / 39.4 × 31.5 in Strange ideas lead me into unfamiliar realms. Here, a coral reef became an imagined civilization living in harmony with its surroundings, where biology, architecture, and technology unite as a living system. Rather than replicate nature, I wanted to extend it and imagine an integrated future beyond control. The reef became a sentient city where memory, emotion, and environment are inseparable. Part dream and part myth, it feels recognizably human yet entirely other.
