Echoes of the Deep is a multimedia exploration of underwater ecosystems, intertwining visual and auditory elements to evoke its current metamorphosis through climate change. The project delves into ecological challenges while highlighting the ocean's historical significance in regard to wars and the conservation or containment of wrecks. The resulting video aims to spark conversations about humanity's profound impact on the ecological balance of our maritime world.
