THE HOUSE OF COLORS

After a vacation in the deep sea, Carey the turtle returns home. But she finds a surprise that makes her take action. This is a story about the Caribbean Sea, coral reefs, and kids who are eager to help.

​This short story is part of the Capsula Corales by Somos Selva y Mar, a Colombian children's clothing brand that focuses on environmental education through its collections. Each collection has a story that describes the ecosystem, the species that live there and the dangers they face.

These are some of the visual explorations I made during the course of the research on the characters that would integrate the capsule and that are based on the Seaflower biosphere in the Colombian Caribbean.
