Corallium Series
My latest series Corallium was motivated by the tragic decimation of the coral reef in the Playa Santa Bay in southwest Puerto Rico. In 2023 the Caribbean Sea temperature reached 104 degrees and started the “bleaching process”. The high temperatures killed the eco system of the reef and it is now a ghostly coral graveyard.
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse and essential ecosystems on Earth. Besides supporting more species per unit area than any other marine environment, they also form a barrier that protects coastal land and communities.
