Buried Treasure is a mixed-media work that resembles a cross-section of the earth, built in layered horizontal bands. Calm, pale tones at the top suggest sky and distant mountains, while deeper layers grow darker, rougher, and more tactile. At its core, fractured amber and gold fragments shimmer like hidden minerals or fossils, the “treasure” revealed beneath the surface. The piece captures a sense of depth, time, and discovery, reminding us that what is most valuable is often hidden below. Buried Treasure feels both geological and symbolic.
