check out vanessa barragão’s crafted coral reefs

By

Vanessa Barragão is a Portuguese textile artist who shares her love and admiration for the ocean with her art, all made with recycled materials and discarded yarn. She crochets, knits, hand-tufts and more to create these 3D pieces that are inspired by her childhood growing up by the Portuguese seaside.

Her hand-made coral reefs are especially neat, which range from colourful and flourishing to bleached and dead, which she hopes will “raise awareness of the dark consequences” that humans are making on our planet. To see more of Vanessa’s awesome stuff then visit her Instagram over here.
