Bubbling under the surface

This series draws from the fragile architectures of bubble coral—translucent, expanding bodies that hold and sustain life within them. These soft, membrane-like forms house zooxanthellae, microscopic algae that photosynthesise for the animal, creating a system where interior and exterior continuously shape one another.

Across the works, rounded forms hover between solidity and dissolution. Surfaces stretch, compress, and refract, suggesting bodies that are not fixed but responsive—expanding with light, collapsing into themselves, always in quiet negotiation with their environment.

What emerges is a study of permeability: how bodies contain and transmit, how boundaries blur, and how something unseen moves through, sustaining life from within. The works linger on transparency, texture, and internal rhythm—inviting a slower way of looking, where structure and flux coexist.
