Collide

“Collide” is a play on my creativity—a mix of a heartfelt photo I captured and an illustration I created. As an artist, I’m always exploring new ways to communicate and bring to life the connection between my inner world and the world around me.

There’s something so nostalgic about swimming as a child, immersed in the awe of the reef, the fish, the sharks, the coral, and the way light dances on the surface of the ocean. This piece is a collision of both worlds I hold dear—the raw, real-life moments of the ocean and the creative spaces where I process them.

Through this work, I hope to spark a deep love for the ocean, to communicate its importance and the need to protect, care for, and tend to it. We must be stewards of the ocean, ensuring it continues to foster deep connections for generations to come.
