The Litterol Thread
Oil on canvas, 31” x 54”
IIn The Littoral Thread, a Gulf mermaid emerges, not the glossy fantasy of children’s tales but a solemn figure shaped by shells and tides. She dissolves into the ocean’s motion, her form both fragile and enduring. Around her, shells cling and unravel, echoing the delicacy of the coastal ecosystems she seeks to protect. This piece evokes transformation, silent, powerful, and inevitable. The mermaid embodies both myth and the human longing for meaning in the face of vanishing beauty. The threads that bind her to the sea mirror the ties that connect all life to the health of our waters. In her hands, these threads feel both tangible and symbolic, pulsing with connection and vulnerability.
