   Artist Statement:
        This piece symbolizes our symbiotic relationship to nature. The piece is upcycled from an anhydrous ammonia tank—a chemical used to conquer nature-into a piece to bring awareness to our need to learn to live with nature for the sake of our survival. Coral Reefs are often referred to as the rain forests of the ocean because the habitats they create support a diversity of life. Coral reefs protect our coastlines from storms and erosion, provide food, jobs, and sources of new medicine. At the same time, people threaten the coral reefs by pollution, sedimentation, unsustainable fishing, and climate change. Our interdependence on nature is one of the great challenges of our time. How do we live on this planet and still preserve and protect it so we can continue to survive?​
