Only 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled, while nearly half ends up in landfills, breaking down into microplastics that seep into water and soil, choking the environment. Oceans bear the brunt, with plastics suffocating coral reefs and increasing coral disease by 20 times.

This installation is inspired by the life cycle of corals, it reimagines the bleached corals as white translucent 3D-printed forms made from upcycled PET bottle filaments. Inside, rotating spheres in vibrant hues represent coral spawning bundles—the beginning of life.
