Inspiration: Underwater Shipwrecks - My designs incorporate organic growth, as well as, detail and line. I wanted to make the viewer look around the body to what might be behind. I want them to wonder what's next; what's ahead; what's underneath. But most of all, I want the luster from my color palette to reveal the beauty in discovery.
That is my thought.
That was my plan.
This is my execution.
