“The hadal zone - the deepest parts of our ocean - can feel distant and mysterious because of its extreme depth. But it’s deeply connected to our planet and full of unexpected beauty. Through this SciArt project, we aim to bring that hidden world to life by capturing what it feels like to descend into the deep sea in a submersible.” 🎨 Art Lead: Frances Drader (Bean Sprout NZ), a multimedia artist from Aotearoa who has loved giant squids and the deep ocean since childhood, and who currently enjoys traditional printmaking. 🔬 Scientific Lead: Mackenzie Gerringer, Associate Professor at SUNY Geneseo, researching the physiology and ecology of deep-sea animals, including the deepest-living fishes on Earth.
