Acrylic and oil on canvas[2025]Vestige is a meditation on survival, memory, and loss in a rapidly changing world. A lone polar bear swims through glacial waters beneath a towering iceberg lit with unnatural color — a landscape as beautiful as it is vanishing.The bear is not in motion by choice, but necessity. It moves through what remains, a relic of a colder age that slips quietly into myth. The water, the light, the ice — all shimmer with the illusion of permanence, but they’re already retreating. And still, the bear endures.This piece doesn’t shout. It lingers. It asks the viewer to sit with quiet consequence — with the traces of something immense, magnificent, and at risk of being forgotten.Vestige is not about extinction. It’s about presence — the kind that stays even as everything else begins to fade.
