Sean Yoro’s (@the_hula) next art project goes deep underwater.
Wanting to make a difference to the degradation of coral reefs due to environmental factors, human activity in the oceans and pollution, Yoro’s Deep Seads project involves freediving to create underwater mural reefs. These artificial reefs are intended to help jump start marine growth, potentially becoming thriving reef sites for a multitude of different organisms. Importantly, all materials Yoro employs, including the pigment sticks, are eco-friendly and safe for marine ecosystems.
