Textile artistVanessa Barragaocontinues to use her craft to showcase the beauty and fragility of marine ecosystems.
Reminiscent of coral reefs, they represent the complexities of life underwater.
While her studio was founded a decade ago, Barragao continues to stretch her creativity.
This evolution reflects my dedication to using art as a medium for change and education.
Part of this evolution also includes travel to the places that inspire her artwork.
One such trip, which Barragao describes as transformative, saw her visit Indonesia’s Raja Ampat Islands.
Witnessing the vibrant coral gardens and diverse marine life firsthand reinforced my commitment to marine conservation, she shares.
