Less Loved

I have always wanted to create warm colored artworks. It's probably already obvious that I love pastel colors but achieving warmth with depth is a challenge for me. With Less Loved I was able to explore the depths of the ocean, like taking a death dive into the heart of the most vulnerable and least regarded parts of the waters.

It is sadly how humans treat fish as compared with the rest of the animal world. Besides insects and reptiles, fish and marine animals are often looked over, even within the animal welfare community. I'm hoping to contribute to changing this view through my art.
