Image Statement: “Fading Luminescent Corals” is a textile sculpture, inspired in the natural luminescent corals. With orange and coral tones that represent the living corals, the grey parts are representing the dying corals in nature. These corals have natural luminescent and they 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.
