Marine Mysteries

by artist Abraham Koh

This abstract painting depicts a vibrant underwater ecosystem, featuring marine life such as jellyfish, starfish, shells, and coral rendered in bold, swirling colors. The ocean’s vastness and mystery—along with the immense diversity of life it holds, much of it still undiscovered—serve as a metaphor for the unknowns of life and the universe.

Though seemingly a world apart, the ocean is deeply interconnected with terrestrial life and depends on human empathy to thrive. Long treated as a dumping ground or merely a resource, it calls for greater care and responsibility. By highlighting its beauty, the artist hopes to inspire wonder, tranquility, and awe, encouraging viewers to protect marine life and its fragile habitats.
