Coral reefs are an integral part of the marine ecosystem - they have needs like any other living things and due to climate change, their lives are at stake. The painting Poseidon 14 has been inspired from SDG 14. In addition to depicting the aesthetic nature of the coral reef and marine ecosystems, Poseidon 14 also highlights some pressing issues which are severely impacting the survival of coral reefs and ecosystem as a whole. The aim of Poseidon 14 is to create awareness of these issues to people, in particular the younger generation, though strong visuals. Poseidon 14 was the winner of the Public’s Choice Award for the Samudra Art Prize, Mauritius June 2022.
