Mythical Abstraction

Krista Augius presents Mythical Abstraction, a series that blends abstract and realist elements to guide the viewer’s eye from macrocosm to microcosm, capturing the vibrant spirit of Fiji’s coral reefs through mesmerizing underwater scenes with a mythical sensibility. Created after a deeply reflective journey to Fiji in 2023, the series draws inspiration from a profound encounter with the natural world. Immersed in the ocean’s vivid ecosystem—its shifting light, rhythmic sounds, and crystalline waters—Augius experienced a powerful sense of clarity and interconnectedness. This moment, suspended in stillness and wonder, became the genesis of a body of work that explores the delicate balance between fragility and resilience, and the restorative force of nature. Mythical Abstraction invites viewers to enter an otherworldly realm where inner and outer landscapes converge, offering a space for contemplation, renewal, and transformation.
