Symbols of medical paraphernalia, skeletal forms, and distressed expressions suggest a world besieged by health crises, while ghostly plants and organisms represent nature’s unpredictable role in these events. The skeletal figure in the center symbolizes life and death in delicate balance, with figures surrounding it appearing to struggle, adapt, or succumb to the unseen forces threatening them.

The central figure, divided yet interconnected, holds symbols of humanity and nature in a precarious balance, suggesting a world on the edge. The earth tones and muted palette convey a sense of despair, while the fragmented structures—crumbling buildings, flooded homes, and barren landscapes—depict the chaos and devastation of environmental collapse. Flames, storms, and turbulent waves swirl around, as if nature itself is retaliating against years of exploitation and neglect. A figure with downcast eyes appears to mourn the planet's suffering, evoking humanity’s complicity in the destruction. The imagery of a clock and faded symbols of civilization speak to the ticking clock of climate change, urging viewers to reflect on the consequences of their actions. In Echoes Lost, the artist captures a haunting vision of a world unraveling, where nature’s once-harmonious echoes are replaced by the sounds of ruin and loss. 

"Sixth Extinction"  (acrylic on canvas 36.5 x 44.5 in, from the series The Beginning of the End). The painting is a compelling, symbolic painting that captures the gravity of the environmental crisis Earth is facing. The composition is a tapestry of fragmented forms and figures, interwoven with symbols of nature, time, and decay. Dominating the center, a figure representing humanity or authority holds a tiny Earth on the finger—a precarious and fragile orb, barely sustained amid the chaos. The muted colors and somber tones evoke a sense of melancholy, while the fractured, cubist-inspired shapes convey the disintegration of the natural world. Surrounding this central figure are distressed animals and delicate creatures on the brink of collapse: butterflies, fish, and other wildlife struggling within the constraints of their geometric confines. These animals appear subdued, trapped, or fading into the background, a visual metaphor for the rapid extinction of species under the weight of human-driven forces like climate change and habitat destruction. In the artwork are incorporated subtle symbols, such as melting clocks and fragmented animals, emphasizing the limited time humanity has to alter the course of this crisis. In Sixth Extinction, every element tells a story of exploitation and imbalance, reflecting on how humanity’s relentless consumption and disregard for nature have pushed entire ecosystems to the edge. The cool, washed-out palette reflects the somber mood of the subject matter, while the bold, dark outlines suggest barriers and limitations—both physical and ideological—that prevent meaningful change. This painting is both a lament and a call to action, urging viewers to confront the devastating impacts of human activities on the planet. It invites a deeper reflection on our shared responsibility to protect Earth's biodiversity before it is irreversibly lost.
