Story Behind This Installation
In collaboration with our project partners at Coral Guardian, we created the world’s first underwater 3-D coral “graffiti tag” that serves as an artificial coral reef to help regenerate corals and marine life off the shores of Nusa Penida.
Artist Statement
"The world has lost roughly half of its coral reef in the last 30 years… Science estimate 90% of corals will die by 2050 due to human impact. Without bold action we risk losing them all in OUR lifetime. We were excited to collaborate with Coral Guardian to create the world’s first underwater 3D graffiti tag that serves as an artificial coral reef to help regenerate corals and marine life in Nusa Penida. This amazing piece of ARTivism can be found just in front of the Next Level Cafe along the JL Ped - Buyuk road in Nusa Penida. Go and check it for yourself. And help us to protect our beautiful marine environment by not using single use plastic."The Focus
