Coral reefs are the most diverse habits on the planet. So much so. these structures bear the moniker "the rainforest of the sea." Tiny coral polyps and their collective formation provide the blueprint to the extraordinary reefs we see today. With their destruction, however, the biodiversity housed within disrupt the natural flow of the entire ecosystem. Many factors aid in the collapse of coral reefs. For example, climate change and increased nutrients, chemical pollution, changes in salinity, coral bleaching due to rising CO2 levels, and elevations in seawater temperatures are all at fault. As time passes, new waves of coral destruction and bleaching climb in the absence of change, prompting the artist to create the Coral Maze. In the piece, Kapchuk equates the process of withering and degradation to the labyrinth of coral reefs depicted; On one hand, the corals presented still contain their bright pigment, while on the other, separations and break-offs are prominently noticeable.

Natalia Kapchuk is a Russian-born London-based artist. She works in mixed media, exploring ecological issues, global effects of pollution as well as protection of the environment. The artist’s main interests are the life on this planet, biodiversity of various countries, continents and vast expanses of oceans – the theme that never fails to inspire and spurs one to search for new expressive means and experiment in media, such as wood, resi-crete, plastic, glass bits and metallic grit, natural stones, crystals, diamond dust and gold leaf. Natalia Kapchuk travels a lot around the world getting inspired by natural beauty to emphasize global environmental problems and negative impact of industrial waste. In the art project titled «The Lost Planet» she highlights such issues as environmental damage and critical amounts of plastic waste in the waters of the world's ocean. In order to contrast natural materials (such as tree bark, sand, natural stones, crystals, fermented moss) and enhance the effect, Kapchuk experiments with industrial materials like polymers and resi-crete, diamond dust, gilding, metal chips and plastic. As a philanthropist and an art ambassador of the Parliamentary Society of Arts, Fashion and Sport (UK) Natalia Kapchuk keeps drawing attention to important environmental issues affecting the future of our planet, and seeks to promote harmonious coexistence of humans in every corner of the world.
