"Tidal Geometry: The Great Wave of the Coral Reef"

In this intricately detailed block print, a majestic green sea turtle glides alongside its tiny baby through the vibrant coral reefs of Queensland, Australia. The composition draws inspiration from Hokusai’s iconic "The Great Wave," echoing its dynamic, swirling forms and rich, layered blue hues, while the geometric precision and interlocking patterns of M.C. Escher are reflected in the tessellated waves and coral structures. Schools of iridescent fish dart through the undulating sea, their movement and arrangement enhancing the sense of rhythmic harmony and visual depth. The result is a mesmerizing fusion of traditional Japanese woodblock artistry and mathematical abstraction, capturing both the grandeur of the ocean and the delicate beauty of marine life in a tapestry of motion, color, and pattern.
