Sockeye Stems

Fiery red-orange blooms push boldly through a deep plum field, their petals streaked with flashes of coral, yellow, white, and electric blue. Loose black lines loop around their edges while dotted centers glow in yellow, orange, and black, giving each flower the same intense color and energy as spawning sockeye moving upstream.

Bright green leaves and stems weave through the flowers, almost luminous against the dark background. Behind them, ghosted botanical shapes and looping marks rise quietly through layers of violet and burgundy, creating the feeling of an entire landscape moving beneath the surface.

Sockeye Stems is about instinct and determination. About knowing where you're going even when getting there requires swimming against the current. About showing up blazing bright, giving it everything you've got, and following whatever wild thing inside you says: this way.
