Original Painting

Stormy Ocean

Cosmos, Paintings

Stormy Ocean is a powerful environmental statement crafted from waste cables and wires embedded in acrylic paint on canvas. This abstract composition transforms discarded electronic materials into turbulent oceanic waves rendered in blues and whites, creating a visceral representation of our planet’s plastic pollution crisis. The actual cables become both medium and message, forming storm-like patterns that surge across the canvas as if the ocean itself is hurling our waste back at us.
This innovative mixed-media approach forces viewers to confront the hidden consequences of our electronic consumption, making visible the invisible destruction happening in distant waters.

Cultural Details

This work reflects the spiritual principle of interconnectedness—that our actions ripple across unseen boundaries, affecting distant ecosystems and future generations. The stormy ocean becomes a metaphor for nature’s response to human negligence, embodying ancient wisdom about reciprocity between humans and the natural world. The piece challenges the modern disconnect between consumption and consequence, invoking environmental consciousness as a spiritual responsibility. It asks whether we can awaken to our role as stewards rather than merely consumers of Earth’s resources.

Artist's Personal Note

“Creating this piece with actual waste cables felt essential—the medium had to embody the message. As I embedded discarded chargers and wires into paint, I imagined the ocean’s voice, asking why we remain indifferent to what we cannot see. Living on land, we forget that our electronic waste doesn’t simply vanish. This painting is my attempt to make the invisible visible, to bring the stormy consequences of our consumption directly into our comfortable, landlocked awareness.”
