Melt

Melt
Acrylic on stretched canvas, 16x20 inches
A lone penguin spins vinyl atop a melting ice cube — headphones on, lost in the rhythm of his frozen world. Behind him, the aurora borealis pulses like soundwaves, washing the Arctic sky in surreal greens and purples. The scene is whimsical yet haunting, a playful nod to the DJ’s vibe and a deeper commentary on climate change and the fleeting balance of nature.
Painted in acrylics with glowing phosphorescent highlights, Melt transforms under blacklight — the ice, aurora, and penguin’s outline ignite in an electric green glow, revealing an entirely new nocturnal energy.
A fusion of humor, rhythm, and environmental reflection, Melt captures the cool defiance of a DJ playing through the world’s slow fade — one beat at a time.
