‘Coral Lands’ by Melbourne-based artist Lilli Waters features a series of nine photographs which were elaborately constructed underwater using coral, live rock and flowers. Combining these elements with bright colours and night sky backdrops, Waters has created extraordinary, other-worldly landscapes featuring the stars and moons, inspired by the lunar relationship and cyclical synchrony within all nature. In these dream-like vignettes, the artist encourages viewers to delve into their own imagination.
Waters states that ‘the exhibition highlights the strange beauty and acute fragility of coral, and I hope it will raise awareness of the devastating impact that humans have on our oceans.’
