In its pristine, sun-dappled clear blue watery home, an angel fish looks beseechingly upwards. The environment is depicted with tear shaped drops that evoke raindrops as well as the ripples of light in a pool of water, emphasizing the urgent need for unspoiled aquatic worlds.

Inspired by the terrible wildfires in the summer of 2020, this piece looks to regenerative time after a fire. It incorporates elements of fire, water, earth, and air. Fire is extinguished with cooling water, the wind carries away the smoke, then new life can emerge from the earth and life resumes.
