Hexacoralla I by Ernst Haeckel
Hexacoralla I from Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur assembles coral polyps and their skeletal structures into a composition that reads as both taxonomy and ornament. Six-fold symmetry repeats across the plate — each specimen depicted with the fine radiating lines and chambered forms that give stony corals their architectural character. The palette is cool and mineral: pale creams, stone greys, and subtle ochres that recall the ocean floor without imitating it. The mood is precise, absorbed, deeply attentive to natural form.
Printed on canvas in our Berlin studio, the woven cotton surface adds warmth that the original's cool tones welcome rather than resist. Light plays across the texture of the weave, lending Haeckel's detailed linework a depth and physical presence that turns it from illustration into wall art.
