This artwork serves as a poignant reflection on the devastating impact of oil spills, with a focus on the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster and a broader commentary on all such events. The woven imagery on the canvas represents the ocean's surface after a cleanup, where only traces of the oil remain visible. Beneath it, the pins symbolize the hidden damage that lies at the ocean's depths, where oil may have settled despite dispersant use. "Echoes Beneath" urges us to confront the lingering scars, both seen and unseen, and to acknowledge the ongoing efforts required to heal our oceans.
