Shark Seeker

2024
Digital painting

This work speaks to the responsibility we hold for what we know and how we choose to act as we search for understanding. The woman — the seeker — is both guardian and witness, carrying the fragile promise of life at her side while keeping much of herself veiled. She protects both knowledge and the sharks — precious, luminous, yet vulnerable to harm if their habitats continue to be treated carelessly. The piece suggests that true wisdom lies not only in gathering information but in respecting the natural world around us.

In this quiet, dreamlike space, nature is both protector and companion, reminding us that wonder and responsibility must coexist. The work invites viewers to reflect on their own role as stewards — to see the magic that swims just out of reach and to care for the living world with curiosity, humility, and reverence.
