Coral Decay #2

Coral Decay #2

Coral Decay #2 is a sacred geometry fossilised warning cast in eternal materials — part of John Brevard's Decay of Time Series. Climate-displaced coral collected personally from shorelines worldwide is pressed into raw earth clay and cast in recycled molten zinc — the coral burning away to leave a haunting exact fossilised void in permanent elemental metal. An ecological elegy cast forever in recycled form.

Paired with hand-excavated Indonesian petrified wood — retrieved without machinery over weeks of dedicated hand excavation and refined over months with diamond polishing instruments — each slab entirely unique across a spectrum of pale ivory to deep warm brown geological grain. Sealed with a refined resin layer for lasting protection and tactile comfort.

Handcrafted as a singular collectible art object — entirely handmade, hand-polished, no two ever alike — it embodies harmonic proportion, elemental depth, and energetic resonance within every fossilised impression. This is not simply furniture. It is a fossilised warning cast in eternal materials — preserved forever in sacred intentional form.

Limited edition. Entirely handmade. No two ever alike.
