For me, the ocean is the biggest part of my practice. The body of works featured within this series are an expression of my personality and how I visualize the world. Each image conveys the notion of change by representing the evolving characteristics of the ocean’s personality. This series also seeks to create a unique perspective of nature in the eye of each individual viewer.
