Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "I built goggles that are surrounded by polluted coral reefs and within the goggles there is a healthy coral reef glistening with saturated pigments and this is only the smallest portion of the vision she saw and how amazing the untouched and undisturbed reefs can be but they can all be this great if issues such as pollution and over fishing were brought down then not only the waters would be saved but it would help the earth as we know it."
