Hi! 🌊

I'm proud to introduce Oceans Unmined, a #sciart project for #ArtSeaMatchmaking 💙
We'll make #coloringpages of #deepseacreatures and we'll organise workshops for children to raise awareness about #deepseabeauty and #DeepSeaMining 🐙

More #marinebiology and #art soon!

#ClarionClippertonZone
This is the logo of my sciart project called Oceans Unmined, the logo shows a polymetallic nodule with a tiny anemone living on top of it. It symbolises the frailty and wonder for the deep sea ecosystem. For this project I'm collaborating with a marine biologist and ichtyologist called Gayathra Bandara. The project is for ArtSea Matchmaking, a DSBSoc-initiative. The purpose of this project is to reach out and raise awareness. Gayathra and I will organise workshops and teach children about deep sea mining, the creatures that are threatened by it and what we can do to help, all while we have fun creating art.
