Entry Description

The Isla del Coco is a Costa Rican island located in the Pacific Ocean. The island is currently in a crisis where a big percentage of its flora and fauna are in
danger of extinction. To generate awareness of the island’s current situation, I designed and created Tropicoco, a collection of shoes and bags that represent these
endangered animals and plants.
