OUR CORAL LUNGS

"While coral reefs only cover 0.0025 percent of the oceanic floor, they generate half of Earth's oxygen and absorb nearly one-third of the carbon dioxide generated from burning fossil fuels." (ecowatch.com)

So it's safe to say that our lives and our general health depend on the health of our oceans. Our bodies are inherently linked to the marine ecosystem.

“Beyond producing 70 percent of the oxygen we breathe, the ocean controls the weather and provides the water we drink and use to grow food. It’s also an integral part of the world economy and the livelihood of billions of people." CreateWaves -Adobe

A human being with coral lungs surrounded by a bright and vibrant ecosystem has been my way of expressing this connection and importance in the conservation of corals and the entire ocean in general.”

Ecology is one of the bases on which my artistic work develops.
I have been working on that purpose for some years now and have various series/projects related to ecology and the ocean mostly.
There is a

#CreateWaves

initiative that motivates artists to raise awareness about our need to protect our ocean.

With this picture, I join the initiative of @AdobeGenCreate and @theoceanagency

I hope it inspires and moves you!

In this post: The final image, images that were created (like lungs made from real coral), and the original pictures that I’ve used for the final picture.

Did you Know coral was so crucial for our survival?
