The ReefLine commissions contemporary artists to engage in direct environmental action.
By merging art with marine conservation and regeneration, The ReefLine provides artists with a unique opportunity to create underwater sculptures that become integral parts of a thriving ecosystem. Each installation serves as a catalyst for coral regrowth, transforming the ocean floor into a living canvas where art and nature evolve together.
Phases
PHASE 1
Concrete Coral
Leandro Erlich, 2025
This submerged reincarnation of Leandro Erlich’s celebrated Order of Importance (2019), will install a life-size, traffic jam of twenty-two concrete car modules for sealife to colonize. Symbolically reversing the effect our actual cars have on the environment, these sculptures will contribute to restoring damaged natural habitats.
PHASE 2
The Miami Reef Star
Carlos Betancourt & Alberto Latorre, 2026
This piece draws inspiration from the captivating migration of starfish and the interconnectedness between ocean and stars. These environmental sculptures are engineered with the latest advancements in hybrid reef technology and marine habitats.
PHASE 2
Heart of Okeanos
Petroc Sesti, 2026
Mimicking the actual heart of a blue whale, this sculpture is a symbolic offering to the Greek god of the Oceans and a carefully designed gift for the creatures that inhabit them. Seeded with living corals, the giant artwork will become an idyllic haven for marine lifeforms.
PHASE 3
Blue Arts Award
A global commission for a new hybrid reef sculpture at The ReefLine.
