Nocturnal honors the ephemeral beauty of a mass coral spawning event – a moment of extraordinary synchronization when entire colonies of coral release their eggs simultaneously. The exact timing of which is still a mystery. Trillions of tiny eggs drift like constellations through the inky ocean, an underwater snowstorm of coral renewal takes place.
This piece is an expression of awe and wonder at this mysterious cycle of renewal and how it could be easily mistaken for the night sky, echoing the vast expanse of the cosmos. Reminding us that the same patterns emerge across vastly different scales. From microscopic organisms to the shapes of galaxies, nature repeats itself endlessly, revealing the deep connections that bind all life together.
