Hotbox Bloom
Approximately 48 × 48 inches

Hotbox Bloom (metallic mylar) presents a surreal botanical burst where nature is rendered in altered, almost synthetic hues. The blue and teal forms function as distorted leaves, while the fluorescent geometric blooms read as flowers intensified and reconstructed through human influence rather than organic growth. Instead of unfolding gently, the composition erupts outward with sharp energy, suggesting a forced evolution of the natural world shaped by intervention, control, and enhancement. The mirrorlike background quietly confronts the viewer, reflecting their presence and implicating them within the scene, transforming the act of looking into a moment of accountability. In this way, the piece becomes both visually seductive and slightly dissonant — a reimagined garden that asks us to consider how our own actions filter, distort,and ultimately reshape what was once wild.
