Equation of State II (Rhizophora stylosa)
"Equation of State II (Rhizophora Stylosa)" by Martha Atienza presents a survey of Bantayan Island’s coastline, highlighting climate change from a layered perspective. Referring to an equation that calculates the relationship between variables and a given set of physical conditions, Equation of State is an attempt to make sense of warming oceanic temperatures and subsequent rising sea levels.
"Sundarbans: Tides and Traces" is a collection of soundscape compositions by Pratyay Raha. The acoustic collection is based on the artist's fieldwork in the Sundarbans mangrove delta, the largest mangrove forest in the world.
Blue Carbon Sound, started by Hiroshi Yasuda, bridges climate science with sound and visual arts. His works transform numerical datasets into audible experiences through data sonification, alongside methods such as scraping, plucking, tapping, and shaking kelp and mangrove wood to create sound art. It is hoped that through these works, deeper emotional connections between audiences and blue carbon ecosystems can be fostered.
Corals
Beneath Tide, Running Water by Ruobing Wang (Art Installation on Coral Ecosystems)
A large-scale interdisciplinary art installation by artist Wang Ruobing, commissioned for the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2025. The work is inspired by coral reef ecosystems, particularly the symbiotic relationship between corals and algae that sustains reef life. It connects coral ecology with artistic practice and raises awareness about ocean conservation through immersive art.
Bleached Bones by Ernest Goh (Art & Environmental Reflection on Coral Bleaching)
Bleached Bones is a photographic art project by Singaporean artist and photographer Ernest Goh, based on his explorations of bleached corals found along the shores of Nikoi Island in Indonesia. The work presents photographs of coral fragments that have turned white due to coral bleaching, a process linked to rising ocean temperatures and climate change.
Coral Dictionary by Chang Yuchen (Art Project)
Coral Dictionary is an ongoing artistic project by artist Chang Yuchen that explores coral fragments as a form of language. Inspired by coral pieces she collected during a residency on Dinawan Island, Malaysia, Yuchen carefully draws and organizes the shapes of dead corals, treating them as symbols in a poetic “dictionary.” Each coral form is linked to sentences translated from a Malay–Chinese–English dictionary, turning coral shapes into a speculative language.
