Beneath the surface, a cosmic current stirs—one of creativity and discovery. This POAP, from Detroit’s Evening of Arts, unlocks more than a memory. It offers a glimpse into an underwater dream world where art and mystery collide.

The journey has only just begun, and only those who dare to follow will uncover the secrets hidden beneath the waves.

David is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist working primarily in ink, paint, and printmaking. His practice exists at the intersections of science, imagination and reverence. David creates place-based work that aims to encourage engagement with land and inspire a life affirming connection with the natural world. In this way, he hopes to speak to a felt, emotional aspect of land protection, as opposed to a strictly factual approach. His intention is to empower people to act on the stewardship of land in backyards, neighborhoods, and homes. All land is sacred and should be handled as such.
