Recycled art

Coconut Shells give us so much in its life and sometimes we just throw them away, but I decided to give it a second lasting life. Nature offers countless displays of amazing color! Decorative Crustacean enhance the beauty of our beach with its charm and vivid color that will brighten up any space. We need to protect all these beautiful sea life creatures starting in our own backyard!
My series is a depiction of the wonders surrounding our island. We recently witnessed an ecological disaster on our shores which showed us how human way of life is dangerous for the living. With my paintings am trying to raise awareness about the underwater creatures by showing the amazing colors and shapes nature holds.
My choice of drawing on a coconut comes with a philosophy of wholeness and continuity. The oceans and the lands are parts of one fragile ecosystem for life to prosper respectfully.
