In early 2024, I had the chance to collaborate with White Lion Publishing and the team at Ocean Culture Life on their book The Ocean Speaks. The book brings together over 45 contributors, from divers and photojournalists to marine biologists and local conservationists, all working to protect and document the ocean in their own way.
I was asked to create chapter illustrations that help guide readers through each region of the ocean, adding a calm, visual rhythm to the book.
Each chapter illustration started with a rough pencil sketch to explore layout and tone. I worked closely with the team to make sure the visuals complemented the stories and added a sense of flow between regions.
Working on this book gave me a small part in a much bigger story: one that’s all about connection, care, and protecting what matters. I’m proud to have contributed to a project that brings attention to the ocean in such a thoughtful way.
