Soft Bodies, Hard Coral
Soft Bodies, Hard Reef” is a study in contrast and invitation. A compact reef outcrop carries soft coral plumes that move like fabric, set against the carved geometry of hard corals—brain-like domes and stony ledges. Anthias thread the scene in loose confetti swirls, flashes of gold and rose that turn structure into choreography. Balanced lighting restores warm hues without losing the clean blues of open water, so polyps stay tactile, scales stay crisp, and the whole composition reads sensual rather than loud: curves over edges, movement over mass. From across the room it feels minimalist and modern; up close it reveals micro-detail—fins, polyp tips, encrusting textures—that rewards a longer look. Elegant, bright, and quietly provocative, this piece brings a living pulse to contemporary spaces.
