These bleached coral fragments became the material for our ecological art "Coral Whispers."

This is one of the beaches in Miyako Island, Okinawa, where much-bleached coral has washed up and accumulated over the years.

Digging up the beach reveals layers and layers of dead coral.

Many of these bleached coral species are a valuable historical legacy that no longer exists on the islands' coral reefs.

These bleached coral fragments became the material for our ecological art "Coral Whispers," emphasizing the necessity of protecting the marine environment.
