Is born from the natural power of Florida and the need to remember that nature does not exist separately from us—we are part of it. The Florida panther, one of the state’s most iconic and endangered species, becomes a symbol of resilience, adaptation, and survival within my work. Its intense gaze represents a natural force that remains present even as our cities continue to grow and transform, while graffiti, vibrant color, and vegetation create a dialogue between the urban and the wild. With Red Panther, I am not simply portraying an animal; I am transforming its presence into a visual statement of power and awareness: protecting Florida’s biodiversity also means protecting our identity, our land, and the natural legacy we leave for future generations.
