Burnt Coral reflects on the fragility of coral ecosystems and the slow erosion that transforms and endangers them. Drawing from both geological and marine forms, the work captures the textures of coral decay and the shifting seafloor beneath. I wanted to express how these natural processes of erosion and renewal mirror cycles of time and transformation. Earthy pigments, burnt umber, sand, and marble dust create a sculptural surface that blurs the line between painting and sculpture — a reflection on the changing landscapes beneath the sea.
