Tidal Garden of Memory

A richly layered mixed-media composition imagines a submerged botanical world where fern fronds, lily pads, delicate butterflies, and branching aquatic forms drift across a textured field. Printed text, translucent paper fragments, rubbed patterns, and finely drawn organic marks accumulate into a tactile surface, while the composition moves from pale, airy water near the top into denser blue-green growth and warm ochre sediment below. The quiet natural imagery carries an archival, dreamlike quality, as though an underwater ecosystem has been assembled from field notes and remembered fragments.
