LIMITED EDITION "Microbiome I: Springtime Series" 11x17 Print

The first entry in the Springtime Series, Microbiome I is an intimate study of renewal—where the body and the natural world begin to mirror one another. Set against a lush green field, the figure emerges not as separate from its environment, but as something grown within it, threaded through with patterns that echo both cellular life and unseen systems of exchange.

Soft, looping forms drift across the surface like coded signals or microscopic organisms in motion, suggesting invisible pathways of thought, energy, and transformation. Around the figure, small blooming structures rise—delicate, repetitive, and persistent—marking the quiet insistence of life returning after dormancy. A warm yellow orb hovers like a distant sun or spore, reinforcing a sense of cyclical motion: decay feeding growth, stillness giving way to emergence.

The expression remains calm, almost suspended, capturing that in-between state where change is happening beneath the surface before it fully reveals itself. Color moves intuitively—reds, greens, and pinks overlapping—evoking the tension and harmony between internal processes and external landscapes.

Microbiome I reflects on the synchronistic relationship between death and revival, framing resurgence not as a dramatic event, but as a slow, deliberate awakening. It is a portrait of becoming—of life reassembling itself, quietly, from within.
