A wide-eyed koala becomes the unlikely host for an oceanic explosion of life and whimsy. Coral reef creatures bloom from a bouquet of daisies — sharks, seahorses, and a cephalopod drifting through petals like currents of color and curiosity. In this Unofficial Collaboration, Josh Harnack and Malin collide land, sea, and surrealism, reimagining the barrier reef as something tender, floral, and delightfully offbeat. A soft pastel fever dream where everything’s a little out of place — and perfectly content to be there.
