SCOPE Walls

SCOPE Walls

In Malibu, inside the iconic Tadao Ando home once owned by Ye, Keeley is creating a powerful new body of work titled Resurrected in Light. Working within Ando’s sculptural concrete and the shifting Pacific brightness, he transformed the fire-damaged home into an open-air studio. Using paint infused with Malibu sand and ashes from the 2025 fires, Keeley turned loss into illumination—each piece embodying rebirth, restoration, and the insistence that light always returns when we choose to be present. As the series moves to Miami, the story continues. SCOPE Walls is an extension the Malibu works, connected by the truth that there is only physical distance between us. In Miami, he blends local sand into the murals, symbolically uniting coastlines into a shared narrative of resilience. All works support Friends of Malibu Urgent Care’s recovery efforts.
