“Ethereal Encounters” delves into the profound connections between humans and the natural world, inspired by Samira’s personal experiences with various animals and plants. Featuring a marmot, hummingbird, ladybug, and green lizard, the painting captures moments of trust and intimacy with nature, reflecting on how these creatures have shown their faith despite human impact. Influenced by brutalist architecture, the artwork contrasts bold geometric forms with organic elements, highlighting themes of growth, renewal, and the evolving relationship between humans and the environment.
