In recent years, it has been dismissing off it shells in the wrong seasons due to climate change which have contributed to it’s seasonal life cycle and to it’s environment in the sea and reef.

BIG WAVE
This print is about water. The seas around Moa Island at different times of the year are rough or smooth. When the waves are rough it is too hard to travel and go out for fishing. You have to stay back at those times.

Vision of Life
This particular artwork of a rose symbolise my personal belief and is a representation of how I like to see the world. It’s the beauty, calmness and colourfulness of a rose that depict the true appearance that springs from the sacred level of my spirit just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower. It reminds me of the visual aspect that lies within, no matter what you look like from the outside, if you know you are beautiful, nothing can change that. The thorns are like a reminder of no matter how beautiful, delicate and sweet something is, it has the potential to be hurtful. However, forgiveness is the scent that the rose leaves on the heel that crushes it.
