Yona Mudibo (Kenya)

The artwork is a sculpture based off of the Longnose Butterfly fish I saw during a snorkeling trip we took with some friends at Vipingo Beach in Kilifi, Kenya. The beauty of the coral reef was a beauty to behold, and seeing its vibrance felt like an honour. However, this and more species of reef fish are under threat with the prevalent plastic pollution and coral reef erosion on the coastline. This artwork was made to celebrate the beauty of the ocean, and remind people of the need to reduce plastic pollution and coral reef erosion in the ocean to preserve its beauty.
