“Site-specific Installation-Coral Garden” is a visual presentation of natural reef habitats built using natural resources such as rocks, broken shells, and pH-neutral high-grade cement. This artwork is designed to mimic the natural reef habitat and help marine ecology. This site-specific installation aims to create public awareness of the importance of sustainable development within life below water and contribute to sustaining the ecosystem of living things and inspire further research practices for sustainable development in the field of art.

The Principal Investigator, Nai Vongsuthep Wong Sowat, has been designing and creating various artworks, including props, sculptures, murals, and graphic designs. He completed a 170-foot long, 40-foot tall, and 12-foot-deep recycled sculpture, which is installed at LimKokWing University. This sculpture was commissioned by the late Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing.

He hopes this research will inspire more artistic practices and bring about social changes in creative education. It also intends to encourage other artists to communicate their ideas in a beautiful language and take a humanising approach that creates a strong emotional connection with communities and the universe, thus enabling them to raise awareness and tell stories.
