Image Statement: “Luminescent Corals” is a textile sculpture, inspired in the natural luminescent corals, with dark tones of purple, blue and green and points of light, which are found at greater depth in the oceans. Also represents an important warning about the human presence and destruction that we represent for planet Earth and other living beings. It belongs to the series “Things from Nature”, a general theme that connects my textiles sculptures since 2016.
