Human destruction has caused significant mass bleaching of corals, which if continued will cease to exist.

What will be the future of humanity as we continue to treat our home as a resource?

The human bone has a similar structure to coral, they are also filled with similarly sized, evenly distributed and thoroughly connected holes, making them ideal for use in bone grafts, while retaining its porous structure, and implanting it into the body, the patient's missing bones can slowly heal on the coral skeleton.

The sculpture is inspired by the human skeleton, the final piece will be located in the sea, made from coral-friendly materials, and the coral will grow on the sculpture, the project aims to discuss the close relationship between humans, coral and the ocean.
