About the Artwork:
Using motifs of skulls, portraits and natural elements. I tell stories of the interweaving of people and their environment by creating powerful reminders of the cyclical nature of life and death, echoing themes of mortality, renewal, and the urgent need for environmental stewardship. Paired with birds, flowers, and other organic forms, these images create a dialogue between decay and regrowth, exploring how destruction can often be a precursor to transformation. – Nico Cathcart
