An original work from the Tide Keepers series, Watchful presents a sea turtle moving through shifting waters — steady, alert, and enduring among a school of fish navigating fragile ecosystems.

Created using layered repurposed materials and hand-painted surfaces, the piece evokes both beauty and disruption through its textured blues and deep ocean tones. The turtle’s gaze feels ancient and observant — a quiet guardian within waters increasingly shaped by human presence.

Part meditation, part environmental reflection, Watchful explores interspecies awareness and resilience. It invites the viewer to consider what it means to remain present and protective in uncertain waters.

A statement piece for collectors drawn to ocean conservation, eco-conscious art, and contemporary marine storytelling.
