The inspiration of this series came from the nature documentary Chasing Coral directed by American director Jeff Orlowski. Influenced by this documentary, the designer wanted to plant corals in the sea.

<Chasing Coral>
Because of environmental / fishing issues, more than 50% of the corals on earth had died. And scientists expected this species to disappear completely in 50 years according to the current trend.

Coral reefs, which have existed on the seabed for millions of years and raised 1 / 4 of marine lives, buffers marine disasters like mangroves and provides research value for human anti-cancer medicine. The culture, lifestyle and economy of 500 million - 1 billion coastal people depend on coral reefs.
Although the ocean is far away from people living in cities, the death of corals is closely related to the future of human. The designer hopes to use his favorite and best way to guide people to pay attention to the crisis faced by this beautiful and unique species, and understand the importance of biodiversity and environmental sustainability concept.
