The featured piece, “Meristem,” is an underwater abstraction inspired by continual regeneration and hope. In seagrass, the meristem is the vital growth center of the plant, located at the base of the leaves where new cells divide and multiply. This allows eelgrass to regrow, recover from damage, and spread across the ocean floor.
A healthy meristem is essential — without it, seagrass can’t thrive or adapt to stress. It’s this small but powerful area that enables dense meadows to form, which in turn stabilize sediment, support marine life, and capture carbon.
In painting “Meristem,” I imagined the process of new cells forming and leaves emerging — a simple but extraordinary act of nature seen both on land and beneath the sea.
