Berlin-based graffiti crew @1up_crew_official just made the world’s first underwater coral artwork. Located at the Nusa Penida Island off Bali, the piece consists of a 3D installation in the shape of the group’s signature tag, which serves as an artificial coral reef to help regenerate corals and marine life in Nusa Penida. Take a closer look at the piece and it’s installation below.

KEEP PUSHING THE LIMITS ! ONE UNITED POWER FOR OCEANS 💥 WORLD’S FIRST UNDERWATER 3D CORAL GRAFFITI PIECE 💥 . The world has lost roughly half of its coral reef in the last 30 years… Science estimate 90% of corals will die by 2050 due to human impact. Without bold action we risk losing them all in OUR lifetime. . The @pangeaseed Foundation’s @seawalls_ Bali team, @allcapsstore Family and @1up_crew_official collaborated with @coralguardian to create the world’s first underwater 3D graffiti tag that serves as an artificial coral reef to help regenerate corals and marine life in Nusa Penida. . This amazing piece of ARTivism can be found just in front of the Next Level Cafe along the JL Ped – Buyuk road in Nusa Penida. Go and check it for yourself.
