Investigating oceans, ecosystems and human impact through contemporary art
For All At Last Return examines marine life, from coral reefs and deep-sea habitats to intertidal and hypoxic zones, highlighting human influence on aquatic ecosystems. The exhibition brings together artists, scientists and researchers to explore ecological change, climate impact and oceanic interconnections.
Works include photography, moving image, installation and experimental processes, reflecting on life below water and humanity’s relationship with marine environments. New commissions by Kristina Õllek join pieces by Shezad Dawood, Rob Smith, Michele Allen and Leticia Ramos, creating a thought-provoking exploration of ecological fragility, resilience and the shifting boundaries between natural and human-made worlds.
