A dreamlike vision of dolphins gracefully circling one another in a clear blue ocean comes to life in this painting, created for Project Rise’s World Environment Day exhibition (June 5). The dolphins, full of joy and motion, embody harmony in a flourishing marine ecosystem. Surrounding them are intricate coral-like forms that represent the beauty and biodiversity of ocean life.
In stark contrast, bold abstract patterns along the edges symbolize the encroaching impact of human activity — pollution, waste, and disruption threatening the natural balance. This interplay of serenity and tension transforms the artwork into both a celebration of the sea and a quiet warning.
It serves as a gentle call to action: protect our oceans, reduce plastic use, and support conservation efforts to preserve the wonders beneath the surface.
