Inspired by the rolling landscapes of Ireland, Verdant captures the spirit of a land both deeply rooted and ever-changing. The encaustic surface reveals rich greens, layered and translucent, evoking mist-covered hills and sunlit glens. Etched lines mimic old stone walls and hedgerows, hinting at ancestral boundaries and forgotten paths. As light plays across its surface, the piece invites reflection — not just on the beauty of the Emerald Isle, but on the longing it stirs: for home, for history, for a place that lives as much in feeling as in form.
