“Like a shadow that does not permit us to jump over it, but moves with us to maintain its proper distance, pollution is nature’s answer to culture. When we have learned to recycle pollution into potent information, we will have passed over completely into the new cultural ecology.” – William Irwin Thompson

 [dNASAb] is not fascinated with the calcium carbonate skeletons of dead corals or the fetishization of lifeless fossils. His love is born by the hyper specialized patterns, the insane fluorescent colors, the motion of the corals in the flow, and the symbiosis of different species collaborating to thrive. That is why he sets forth to refurbish them with color and dynamic sculptural components. He creates sculptures in the studio from the rubbish and other reclaimed materials. The finished sculptures then get re-integrated, temporarily, to the environment from which it's materials and inspiration were salvaged. The sculptures are filmed in varying depths, at different times of day and night, via underwater photography and scuba diving_ in an effort to "restore beauty to the entire ecosystem, if only temporarily"

"...the near-shore reefs of South Florida are resilient, but under constant evolving threats.To create these videos [dNASAb] removes derelict fishing gear (lines, lures, leaders ,hooks,and the other collateral debris) from the reef while scuba diving and he collects coral fossils, sea fans, sponges, and marine debris from the South Florida beaches. Stony Coral tissue loss disease [and other diseases that affect coral], indiscriminate boat anchoring on reefs, detrimental water quality issues; and of course, the rising Ocean temperatures from Climate change. It is estimated that over 500,000 coral deaths just in Miami-Dade county alone due to Stony Coral Tissue Lost disease, and there is nearly no way to calculate the amount of corals and sea-fans ripped off the reef by anchors. That will die in the sand."

Its heart-breaking. [dNASAb] is not fascinated with the calcium carbonate skeletons of dead corals or the fetishizing of lifeless fossils. His love is more focused on the hyper specialized patterns, the insane fluorescent colors, the motion of the corals in the flow, and the symbiosis of different species collaborating to thrive. That is why he sets forth to refurbish them with color and dynamic sculptural components. He creates sculptures in the studio from the rubbish and other reclaimed materials.

"Eyes are the window to the Soul; and anyone who can see will know the love and power of a health reef ecosystem" OR_"Coral Head_Screens for Eyes, Plastic Shit for Brains_Obscene Plasticene Daydream #4" 2022

Reclaimed ocean styro-foams, up-cycled marine debris+plastics from beach cleanups (bottle caps,syringe,kids toys,monofilament,..) LCDscreens, screen shipping materials, recycled plastic, epoxy, resin, airbrush paints, fiber optics, LED's, unique 1 of 1 4K video of remixed montages of real Coral Reefs in South Florida remixed with HD 4K video.

“Like an Ocean gyre , a vortex of artifacts of a consumption based contemporary society such as; plastic bottles and bags, fishing nets, and helium balloons become en-snarled with driftwood, dead coral, and seaweed creating a grotesques amalgamation of disparate materials which remarkably can still harbor life and be a sculptural framework for life to grow. I aim to develop work that embodies this contemporary conundrum.”[dNASAb]
