Project Outcome Collage
Four sets of six color samples created by each team member, inspired by the vibrant skin tones of healthy poison dart frogs.

About

This project visualizes the devastating effects of the BD fungus on poison dart frogs—a crisis worsened by rising temperatures that allow the fungus to thrive. Her clay sculpture depicts ulcerated frog skin stretched like a parchment, exaggerating this life-threatening illness to raising awareness of this issue. Through this collage, with adjustments, she replicated the frogs’ natural colors and patterns, displaying their vibrant beauty against the brutality that they are facing on a daily basis.
