The project, spanning from 2021 to 2024, includes two alternating parts titled “The Last Mangroves Tree” and “Living Together.” It combines conceptual photos with documentary photography.

In “The Last Mangroves Tree,” Chiron created a futuristic world where humans have destroyed the environment and nature for political and economic purposes. People mourn when they realise there are no more mangrove trees left. However, some individuals secretly hide the fruits of the mangrove tree and take refuge in mysterious places. Since then, they have been on a mission to protect these last remaining sprouts of mangroves on the planet from other forces still silently hunting them.

Interspersed with this is the “Living Together” documentary photo series, taken at a mangrove reserve in Vietnam. This series explores an ecotourism model that combines protected areas with economic development, showcasing the beauty and potential of the mangrove ecosystem.

Through this alternation, Chiron seeks to emphasise the contrast between the two sets of photos, evoking the beauty of mangrove forests while warning of dire future scenarios if conservation efforts fail. The project ultimately aims to foster awareness of living and developing together, reflected in the keyword: “Living Together.”
