Algal Bloom

Algal Bloom reflects the fine balance within aquatic ecosystems. Algae are a natural part of healthy waterways, supporting life and contributing to the rhythm of the environment. Yet when that balance is disrupted, rapid blooms can overwhelm entire ecosystems. Rather than presenting this as simply good or bad, the work acknowledges the complexity of natural systems and our growing influence upon them. Through layered surface and shifting colour, the vessel becomes a quiet reflection on growth, imbalance and the delicate relationships that sustain life.
