Rooted in Reflection: My Piece “Bluemoon” at the Wild Forever Exhibition

I’m honored to be part of the Wild Forever exhibition, hosted by the Wilderness Society. It’s a gathering of artists who share a deep reverence for the natural world — and a belief that art can speak for the places that cannot speak for themselves.

My contribution is titled BlueMoon (Transformational Gaze).

In this piece, a deer emerges from the shifting, geometric currents of a deep indigo forest. Its gaze meets the viewer — not in alarm, but in quiet introspection. I wanted to capture a moment akin to a “Blue Moon”: rare, extraordinary, and often overlooked.

The contrast between raw, organic texture and fragmented, pixelated forms speaks to transformation — that liminal space where the wild outside meets the wild within. For me, this is where true connection begins.

To protect our forests and natural landscapes is to embrace that internal shift. Because restoring the world around us starts with a quiet, inward moment — one where we pause, reflect, and remember what we are part of. Conservation is not just an external act; it begins with a profound, quiet introspection that realigns us with the earth we call home.
