There is a unique energy in the moments before a storm. The air is charged, the clouds gather and darken, and the landscape seems to hold its breath in anticipation.

This body of work emerged from time spent standing on the beach, waiting for the drama of the storm to unfold. Watching the shifting light, the movement of the sea, and the possibility of lightning striking the waves became a powerful source of inspiration.

The ocean has always felt like a second home to me. As a Pisces, I am continually drawn to its rhythms and stories. These works explore that connection, capturing the clouds, atmosphere, emotion, and narrative that travel endlessly from shore to shore.
