The Kelp We Breathe

“The Kelp We Breathe dives deeper into questions of why kelp matters to us, unveiling culture, passion, and community.”

The Kelp We Breathe follows the culture that kelp has helped to foster through the lens of 3 artists seeking to transform the narrative of kelp beyond the surface level. They highlight the importance of kelp to our marine and terrestrial ecosystems while revealing their own stories of passion and resilience that their work has equally been a vessel for. The interwoven messages aim to spark conversation about our relationships with our environment and the beauty of the unknown.
