I was born and raised by the sea. This insular condition has had a profound influence on me and my art. Living on an island in current times illustrates how interconnected we all are as well as dependent on mutual responsibility and empathy vital for all people, nations, and the full ecosystem.
Research led me to the Balinese Goddess Dewi Danu who is known for her unmatched generosity, compassion and love of community. As guardian of rivers and lakes, she watched over them to ensure a study flow.

In my work, the viewer can see a serpent like ouroboros form that also resembles undulating waves. The central wheel-like form signifies the power and energy from within each of us. Like Dewi Danu, this artwork is a reminder that each of us should protect the waters which is the life blood for above and below the water surface.
