The artwork titled “Coral Bonau” is about how our sea tide gets low and goes out and it leaves us with little pools off water holes which would trap fishes that get stuck in these littles pool holes and sometimes we would go fishing in these little water holes and catch some fishes.

Traditional hunting by walking along the reef. These walks are only practised by a skilful man who has great spear abilities. He would observe the tidal movement of the incoming and outgoing tides. The fish and stingrays will also move with the tidal currents which will make them easy to be speared. Also coming in with the tide is the hammerhead shark in search for its prey. The reef also provides clam shells that are easily gathered during the low tide.
