Coraluna is a lunar‑reef bloom, a vessel that seems to have grown rather than been made. Its undulating rim and bubbled surface recall coral structures illuminated by moonlight, while the glaze — a shifting spectrum of deep ocean blues and iridescent turquoise — captures the quiet pulse of tide and light.
From its center rise orchids, pale and luminous, as if drawn upward by the moon’s gravity. The form suggests a species that evolved where coral meets night air — a hybrid organism of mineral and bloom.
Part of Terry Hastings’ GeoBotanAquatica series, Coraluna embodies the serene intersection of geology and biology, a speciated ceramic that breathes with the rhythm of the sea and glows with the calm authority of the moon.
