explores the power of language and the tension between what is seen and what is understood. Each piece encodes a meaningful message in Braille, using layered geometric systems and tactile elements to reveal how words shape perception, and how meaning often exists just beyond what we immediately see.
UNSPOKEN
Already Ocean, 2026
Wood hemispheres on wood panel, acrylic & resin
36 × 36 inches
Already Ocean explores the tension between structure and surrender through a fluid interpretation of Braille. Departing from traditional linearity, the composition shifts in scale, spacing, and rhythm—mirroring the movement of water.
“Enlightenment is when a wave realizes it is the ocean.” — Thich Nhat Hanh
Look UP
Wood hemispheres on wood panel, acrylic & resin
5 × 5 inches
Look Up explores the power of perspective. Hidden within the composition, the Braille message, which reads “Look Up.,” serves as a quiet reminder that there's often more to see when we lift our gaze.
A canopy of color and light, inspired by David Attenborough’s words—reminding us of both the beauty we stand within and the responsibility we carry to protect it.
Contemporary Braille artwork inspired by David Attenborough’s quote on environmental stewardship. Layered circles in vibrant greens, blues, yellows, and pinks evoke the experience of looking up through a forest canopy—light, shadow, leaves, and blossoms intertwined. A dimensional abstract work exploring nature, responsibility, and humanity’s connection to the living world.
Awesome Responsibility, 2025
Wood discs on canvas, acrylic
48 x 60 inches
Contemporary Braille artwork inspired by David Attenborough’s quote on environmental stewardship. Layered circles in vibrant greens, blues, yellows, and pinks evoke the experience of looking up through a forest canopy—light, shadow, leaves, and blossoms intertwined. A dimensional abstract work exploring nature, responsibility, and humanity’s connection to the living world.
“The fact is that no species has ever had such wholesale control over everything on earth, living or dead, as we now have. That lays upon us, whether we like it or not, an awesome responsibility. In our hands now lies not only our own future, but that of all other living creatures with whom we share the earth.” - David Attenborough
WORD, 2025
Wood discs on wood panel, acrylic & resin
30 × 30 inches
This work departs from the hidden quotes found elsewhere in the series. Instead, it repeats the word WORD across the surface in Braille.
The repetition reflects the endless flow of language in daily life—words layered, interrupted, amplified, or forgotten. Some rise above the rest. Others are obscured before they are fully formed. Together they create a visual field of language itself: constant, overlapping, and always shaping meaning.
Unspoken I: Before the Break
Frederick Douglass
Acrylic and dimensional elements on canvas
20 × 30 in | 2026
This work interprets the words of Frederick Douglass, “It is easier to build strong children than it is to repair broken men.”
The painting was auctioned at the Little Hands Tablescapes 2026 event.
