Through the following canvases, we delve into a speculative world where an iconic biome—the coral reef—is carefully preserved in a virtual archive. In a present where species extinction is a growing concern, visual and auditory representations bear witness to natural richness. The work centers on the unprecedented human impact on nature, engaging in critical dialogue with this era. Through artistic exploration, it proposes an imaginary that oscillates between techno-utopian hope and reflection on the challenges faced by our environment. This futuristic vision presents a scenario where nature is preserved by technology, creating a stark contrast by revealing the duality between the ethereal beauty of corals and a desolate atmosphere that reflects an extinction aesthetic.
