Sea Studies
From fish heads to anemone tentacles, a quiet study of the small forms found beneath the sea.
This series grew out of a fascination with the small details of marine life — not a whole fish, but its head; not an entire reef, but the gentle motion of an anemone's tentacles. Pon is drawn to these overlooked fragments, reinterpreting their shapes, colors, and textures through the language of wool.
The Fish Head family and the Anemone series stand as two independent groups that share the same way of looking: stripped of narrative or character, they simply celebrate form and the astonishing natural beauty of marine life. This is a more purely formal study — and an ongoing way of staying in conversation with the sea.
