   La Mer, a tributary of the Wildlife work, explores life of the ocean from the bioluminescent creatures of the abyss to the exquisite and mighty microscopic beauties in the sunlit zone. Marine single cells photosynthesize more than half of earth’s oxygen sustaining all life as the base of our food chain and ecosystem. They form fantastic colonies to empower their oxygen and nutrient prowess and create reciprocal support. The intricate ceramic marine forms in white shine light on the wonder as well as the delicate, diverse and mostly unseen, little known life of the sea with which our lives are intrinsically linked.
