Artist Statement

This coastal living wall draws inspiration from the movement of nearby ocean waves, with flowing bands of blue Senecio evoking the rhythm of the sea. The installation wraps around a corner, enhancing the architectural gesture and creating a continuous visual experience from multiple vantage points. Designed to withstand salt spray and shifting exposures, the plant palette includes hardy coastal species accented by pollinator-friendly geraniums and warm orange-yellow highlights of Aeonium and Haworthia. Framed by ipe wood cladding, the wall reads like a living painting—bringing texture, motion, and a sense of place to the residence.
