The experience is divided into three parts: the legend, the underwater forest and the exploration of the Earth’s ancient geological memory. All throughout the experience and along with the foraminifera, you witness signs of the many threats to the marine and coral microorganisms, embodied by a sea serpent symbolizing the acidification of the oceans. 

You are then invited to travel vertically from the sea to the sky, starting in a small room before moving deep into the sea and finally returning to the stars, as innumerable as all the grains of sand on Earth.
