We Are Coral

In an era of profound planetary change, the urgency of our environmental impact is undeniable. My artistic practice is rooted in a continuous act of observation, and it is from this perspective that I began this work: to give form to a vital, unseen world.

 

The Red Sea holds a universe parallel to our own, a realm of color, movement, and intricate life largely hidden from us as land dwellers. I have focused on its coral reefs, the living architectures that sustain this delicate balance. These complex organisms are not merely scenery; they are the breathing infrastructure of an entire ecosystem.

In this work, I have translated that communication into a form we cannot overlook. I enlarged the miniature, made the invisible visible, and brought the voice of coral into the museum space. Recreating the most endangered Red Sea species in large-scale glass, I use the material's inherent transparency to speak of their fragility. The amplifi ed scale asserts their physical presence, or rather, the looming threat of their absence.
