Kenyan-British ceramic artist Megan White is making waves by transforming marine ecosystems into thought-provoking artworks. Her latest collection, inspired by coral reefs and the rugged textures of the ocean floor, challenges conventional notions of beauty through intricate sculptures of crabs, lobsters, and other marine life.
White’s work bridges art and environmental storytelling, using layered glazes to mimic the interplay of light on tidal pools and the weathered surfaces of coastal rocks. "Nature’s resilience is its greatest artistry," she explains, emphasizing how her pieces highlight both fragility and strength in aquatic ecosystems.
For business professionals and cultural explorers alike, White’s exhibitions offer insights into sustainable creativity – a growing trend in Asia’s art markets. Academics praise her ability to visualize complex ecological relationships, while diaspora communities find connections to coastal heritage across continents.
Upcoming installations in Singapore and Mumbai will feature interactive elements, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship with marine environments. As climate conversations intensify, White’s art serves as a tactile reminder of nature’s enduring influence on human innovation.
