Bold agaves rise into abundant sunlight, their blades twisting, bending, and overlapping as they claim space. Interwoven among them, golden torch cacti reach upward, their repeating lines echoing one another like shared movement. In the distance, mesquite, palo verde, and a tall saguaro stand together, grounded and watchful. The painting speaks to resilience, with cacti mimicking life through their persistence, adaptability, and quiet strength. Inspired by the Sonoran Desert, these forms reflect survival through connection, rendered in layered blues, greens, and soft golden light that move across the surface like breath and time.
