Digital illustration of ocean literacy's second principle: all land formations were born in the sea. We see a girl on a bicycle climbing a whale-shaped road that starts from the sea and continues up a sandy hill.

Ocean literacy 





Life on our planet began in the Ocean.
Taking action for its future is now more critical than ever.

This is the aim of the "Mare Dire Fare" festival in Trieste, Italy (literally: sea, tell, do).

Starting from local research groups like AMP Miramare to national WWF, they want to increase awareness and the culture of respect for the sea and its resources.

I was invited to make seven illustrations representing ocean literacy principles in a group exhibition, "il mare si fa in 7."

I have chosen to highlight the intrinsic relationship between the sea and Earth through a playful dance of lines.


Client: WWF Foundation
Year: 2022

Digital illustration of ocean literacy's third principle: The ocean interaction of oceanic and atmospheric processes controls weather and climate by dominating the Earth's energy, water and carbon systems.

Ocean literacy principles:


1. The Earth has one big ocean with many features.
2. The ocean and life in the ocean shape the features of Earth.
3. The ocean is a major influence on weather and climate.
4. The ocean makes Earth habitable.
5. The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems.
6. The ocean and humans are inextricably interconnected.
7. The ocean is largely unexplored.


Digital illustration of ocean literacy's fourth principle: The Ocean made the Earth habitable. We see a water hand bring life to the shore in a continuous exchange between sea and land.

Digital illustration of ocean literacy's fifth principle: The Ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems. Digital illustration of ocean literacy's first principle: Earth has one big Ocean with many features. We see the world from the south pole. A group of whales swimming together, representing the Ocean as a system. Digital illustration of ocean literacy's sixth principle: The Ocean and humans are interconnected. Digital illustration of ocean literacy's seventh principle: The Ocean is largely unexplored.
