'The water surrounding Bermuda is not just one shade of blue. It's a combination of blues, turquoise and purples, all splashing along our popular pink beaches. The greens represent plant life, the black and grey represent the reefs, and yellow for the sun, because a sunny day really brings out the vibrant details. Using those colours, I created a geometric abstract with pointillism, to emphasise the detail. And I made sure to use triangles, referencing the legend of the Bermuda Triangle.'
