The Awakening of the Empyrean Dominion, a series of C-print illustrations based on a personal trip to the Big Island of Hawaii features animals in rhapsodic harmony with their dynamic and serene environment. It is a meeting of heaven and earth where lava, fire and water give life to the horses, pigs, sea creatures and other inhabitants. Industrious creatures who persevere to maintain beauty and order are intricately rendered in a sophisticated fashion combining the stylistic qualities of Tibetan art and modern Japanese character goods. The work includes highlights of the Empyrean Dominion characters in a set of lush portraits.
