In Zest, O'Connor leans into the Pop Art movement to strip away the softness of traditional botanical art, replacing it with saturated hues and hard edges. The composition treats nature not as a quiet backdrop, but as a source of electric energy, where pure shapes overlap to create a sense of layered depth.

The interplay of vibrant color and minimalist design suggests a landscape filtered through a modern lens, where the organic world meets the structured pace of urban life. By focusing on visual communication through abstraction, the work avoids literal interpretation, instead offering a tropical-inspired palette that vibrates against the classic frame.
