I was inspired by beautiful coral reefs and marine life. I watched a documentary about the diversity of marine life and how most of that life lives in coral reefs. The documentary showed the effects of global warming on coral and other marine life. This inspired me to use photos of bleached coral.
I sculpted Earthenware clay into different types of coral and then attached them to a hollow clay base. I punched holes through the hollow base and placed a light bulb under the dome. I hoped that this would make my piece more intriguing and help "shine a light" on coral bleaching and global warming.
