Coral Reef

Date: 2018 - on going

This series began in 2018 by researching the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease' outbreak, a new disease with an unprecedented mortality rate affecting 25 species of corals of the Great Mayan Reef—the second largest reef in the world. Coral Reef is both a subject and a metaphor, symbolizing the systems collapsing around us, our disconnection from nature, and collective experiences of loss, displacement, and resilience. Repurposing textiles, sequins, and fabric remnants to document a vanishing world and to process nostalgia and grief.
