The Aftermath series is my response to the winter storms that ripped through California in 2023 leaving behind a tangled mess of fallen trees and more. Aftermath delves into the profound beauty and impact on the Salinas River. The artwork serves as a window to the river's transformations amid varying water levels, plant conditions, and seasonal shifts.
