Ikigai loosely translates to “reason for being” and refers to the things, both big and small, that give life meaning.

This artwork explores the idea of moving beneath the surface to meet the parts of ourselves that are often overlooked or left unexplored. Inspired by the cycles of change, shadow and transformation, Ikigai reflects the idea that growth is not always about letting go or moving forward. Sometimes it begins with simply being willing to look more closely at what is already there.

The descent into the depths becomes a metaphor for change, where endings, uncertainty and the things we thought we had lost can reveal something unexpected.

Created with meticulous detail, Ikigai is a visual exploration of inner transformation, resilience and the search for meaning. It invites the viewer to consider what might be found beneath the surface when familiar things begin to change.
