Depiction：
It is said that a healthy coral reef is full of sound.
Fishermen near the Great Barrier Reef can hear these sounds by dipping their wooden oars into the sea and listening closely.
While the tropical ocean is nutrient-poor, the coral reef grows and divides, forming its skeleton and sustaining diverse life.
This work mirrors that organic process: starting from the coral’s center, the dye spreads and is fixed layer by layer with wax,
allowing the reef to “grow” on the surface.
Each wax-enclosed coral form carries not only the sense of underwater motion but also the echo of invisible sound.
The resulting coral mass embodies my ideal world realized through the batik technique.
