Vulnerable reefs

Inspired by the bleaching of coral reefs; Vulnerable reefs are inspired by corals stress, vulnerability and mortality caused by climate change; more precisely a change in the ocean temperature disrupting the symbiotic relation between the algae and the coral. The use of an off-white colour scheme as well as recycled materials as mediums to create those two pieces of crochet aim at creating awareness regarding the effect of pollution on the bleaching phenomenon and eventually the death of corals as well as the urge to preserve our coral reefs vital to life on earth.
