An oil painting on canvas by Mariam Raafat from her series "A Naive Vision of Sea Creatures."

"My series highlights marine creatures and the fragility of their precious ecosystems. Rendered using oxides, oil paint, and acrylic ink, I have captured a vibrant underwater habitat bursting with life. From tropical fish to colorful coral, each hand-drawn shape plays a vital role in the overall picture, just as every ocean creature has an important role to play.
Removing one element would disrupt the composition, just as removing one element entirely, in a realistic sense, would have massive repercussions for the rest of the ecosystem."
