Gasping Stones in Breathing Blue (2025)

Dimensions: 3,20m x 3,20m x 5m
Materials: fabric, water, plaster, sand, clay, glass, electronicsGasping Stones in Breathing Blue is an immersive installation inviting visitors to step into the deep sea through colour, light, and touch. Hand-dyed cotton ribbons in shades of blue hang from a frame, creating a space that feels like descending into the ocean. Above, the ribbons are light and bright; below, they grow darker, surrounding visitors with the quiet, heavy blue of the abyss.

At the center sits a white, coral-like sculpture holding stones and water-filled vases with bubbles rising from an air pump. When a visitor takes a stone, the bubbles stop — directly showing how deep sea mining can reduce oxygen and harm fragile ecosystems. This simple interaction makes visible the invisible damage caused by mining on the ocean floor.
