In May 2022, the Blue Climate Summit was held for the first time in French Polynesia. To signify this important event, this installation was developed to coincide with the 8th annual Ono’u Tahiti Street Art Festival and was installed at the public housing administered by the Office Polynésien de l'Habitat OPH in Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia.
