DDXXL is an enlarged version of Coral Reef. This 4ft wide by 4ft tall shadow box stands 6ft tall on thick steel pipe legs. Enlarging Coral Reef allows viewers to see the details of the coral and fish in depth. This new box is made of 10 white acrylic layers, with 3 clear laser etched layers with over 10 species of tropical sea creatures. The clear etched layers sit directly on top of the LEDs, creating an illusion that the fish are suspended within the box. The LED animations developed for this box gives the appearance of fish swimming.
One of the most calming environments I’ve experienced is snorkeling on a reef. The gentle waves of the water as fish swim around, the crunching of a parrotfish eating coral, the curious nooks and crannies to look into. The water is warm, the sun beaming down, as I’m immersed into a foreign environment. Snorkeling is deeply relaxing to me.
Dimensional Dreams XXL Coral Reef is currently on display at FATHOM by Roboto Octopodo in downtown Portland, OR
