Origins

Co-founders Angeline Chen and Kyle Block, had their paradigm forever altered while living in Thailand and watching a coral reef they loved dying before their eyes. As they learned about the dire situation for reefs worldwide, they also learned about the immense capabilities to rehabilitate these essential ecosystems. With the guidance of scientific leaders in the field, they realized the need for widespread cultural transformation and developed this approach bridging art, science and communities. Their sculptures aim to offer the world a felt and transformative connection to our oceans and each other.
