Ocean Blue

Like a giant picture book, Ocean Blue creates an immersive journey targeted at young children and their families - telling the story of how Forests, Rivers and Oceans are all connected. 

With art work tailored to the 4 - 7 yr old demographic, the work has delightful images of cheeky crabs, grumpy seagulls, and hidden octopuses to be discovered by young viewers. 

The environmental message is also embedded into the work: 95% made from recycled PET, and created in a studio that uses 100% renewable electricity. It opens positive conversations of  change, hope and sustainability for young people.

About:

Just like a giant picture book - the work is heavily illustrated with a narrative of how Forests, Rivers and Oceans are all connected. Much of the detail is physically quite low in the work - targeted specifically at very young people to discover. By day the inflatable art work is brightly patterned and detailed with a deliberate 'done by hand' feel, by night  it becomes an illuminated landscape with internal led lighting.
