Living Monument of the Deep, a multi-channel installation, portrays a post-apocalyptic landscape where all the seas have dried up, leaving behind vast expanses of barren, cracked earth. The once vibrant oceans that teemed with diverse marine life are now nothing more than parched wastelands, where only a few creatures remain, struggling to survive. Pale Futures is a series of algae-based sculptures embodying imprints of endangered coral species.
