Underwater sculptures

Three sculptures are currently installed underwater. These are hollowed and textured to accommodate living marine organisms and enhance the bio receptivity. While growing, they will create new shapes and stories in collaboration with other non-humans.

“Urchin” and “Sleeping King”: installed at The Seaweed Company`s shoreline site in Zeeland, The Netherlands.

“Kelpie”: installed at Kelp Forest Foundation`s kelp cultivation site in Luderitz, Namibia.
