“The Rise of Life on Earth” (2015) is a lush, overflowing collage that treats the frame like a living organism. Artificial foliage and flowers burst from the edges, wrapping around a dense interior world of faces, animals, eyes, and fragments of text that literally spell out the work’s title.
At the center, a mask-like profile drinks from a chalice while the word “LIFE” pulses across the surface, surrounded by vivid reds, yellows, and blues that suggest lava, oceans, and blooming landscapes all at once. Reading like a mythic origin story pinned to plywood, this piece is a celebration of chaos, growth, and the unstoppable urge of life to take over every available space.
