Corals depend on their symbiont zooxanthellae for nutrients while zooxanthellae depend on corals for protection. Rising seawater levels and ocean warming threatens the mutualistic relationship that corals have with zooxanthellae causing corals to expel zooxanthellae, leaving the zooxanthellae to drift off into the sea while the corals begin to starve. While some corals die, others are capable of producing fluorescent pigments that optimise photosynthesis for their zooxanthellae, giving both of them a fighting chance in acclimating to the changing ocean. This work reflects the state of dying and highlights the oddity of fighting for togetherness.

The torchlight provided can be used to interact with the installation by charging the glow in the dark materials for a brighter glow.
