Isla perez coral

This fiber artwork represents the coral reef in Mexico, also known as The Mesoamerican Reef, the second-largest barrier reef in the world.
Millions of tourists visit Mexico each year, attracted by its beauty and culture. But these tourists also place a huge strain on Mexico's natural resources, including its beautiful coral reefs.

Using fibers such as cotton hemp hessian and yarn, crochet, knitting and weave inside frame, creating corals out of those materials, responds to the climate change and also a global community-based exercise in applied mathematics and evolutionary theory. In addition, crocheting, knitting and weaving can mimic the hyperbolic geometry of living reef organisms.

For the love of the ocean and coral sea
