| A Commitment to making ecologically friendly art pieces, SANGO (Coral) | |
| Message from Naoko to Save Coral and Save Beach Assets | |
| SANGO (Coral) series of artwork is the first step to spread a new method of an ecologically friendly approach to art creation while protecting the natural assets, especially ocean and beach assets. This project is also aimed to suggest a new direction to support the economy of rural areas in developing nations and small islands around the world, not by selling their precious beach resources bit by bit but as an alternative way of income without loosing the beach assets. |
|
| 1. | To appreciate and respect nature, Only the natural shapes and colors of the corals and shells are used. Nothing is cut or polished. |
| 2. | The glue that is used, is water-suluble. After the pictures have been taken, the corals and shells are returned to their natural habitat (water and beaches where they were found). Anyone who visits the beach can enjoy those corals and shells for many years. |
| 3. | All artworks are introduced only by a mixture of media artwork auch as photographs and other digitally processed images, so that the natural assets will not perish even if the artwork increases in popularity. |
| 4. | Only the “Bleached Coral”(not living) washed on shore were used for SANGO artwork. Bleached coral (white coral) is often quoted as an indicator of global warming and changing ocean environment. (When water temperatures rise one to two degrees above average, the colorful corals are washed away,, leaving it appearing bleached. Corals can recover, but if the heat persists or if bleaching happens too frequently, they die.) Bleached corals were used as a symbolic icon to appeal to everyone to respectfully preserve beach resources and beautiful coral reefs of the world. |
| 5. | Beach resources are not the only consideration. Artwork utilizing the same concept may also be introduced with natural resources found in mountains and river. Old trees, mosses on wood, or stones by the river will have the same potential of creating a beautiful artistic expression as SANGO does. |
