Terra Nova explores quiet transformation—both in nature and within ourselves. Created through an instinctive, layered process with earthy pigments, plaster, and texture, the work reflects how landscapes shift over time—through erosion, weathering, and pressure—and how those same forces shape us. Inspired by the traces left by time on an abalone shell I found by the ocean, this piece embraces nature’s raw, unfiltered beauty. It’s a reminder that strength and beauty often emerge from what’s been broken or reshaped. Terra Nova invites reflection—a chance to slow down and reconnect with what’s quietly shifting beneath the surface. Through my work, I hope to create a space where you can pause, feel, and find your own meaning in the layers beneath. It’s about the beauty in what’s raw and unresolved, and the quiet changes that unfold when we give them room.
