One researcher starts to sketch this beautiful scorch. Through the sketching, we noticed how the black cobblestones of the street started to be covered in algae and moss, almost eroded or claimed from the sea. From there, the noticing and the fabulation came quite close to each other.

Figure 1 and 2 : Sketches that inspired the collaborative fabulations

Transcribed fabulation from the sketch:” The algae and the moss blend together with the salted water of the rising seas and waves progress into the city. They become like a soft carpet that grows special medicinal kinds of seaweeds and the water of the waves keeps them moist and alive. Humans learn how to care and respect for this new type of living being among themselves and use its medicinal properties to heal many diseases, including depression and neurodegenerative illnesses”

Algae and moss blend, and with the salted water rising due to rising sea levels, Sea creatures start to venture our of the sandy bottoms of the sea into the algae-covered cobbled pavements. Sea and wave levels progress and reach the city. The algae and moss have covered the street pavements, forming a soft green wet carpet where the marine species can glide into the once exclusively human habitats. Precious nutrients and medicinal compounds thrive on this green layer of new biological layer.

The rising sea levels keep them moist and florid.

Humans learn to care about the green alive layer and all the life that thrives in it, getting to know its Medicinal benefits and uses without disturbing its growth. These new bioproducts are particularly beneficial to all nervous and degenerative diseases, like depression and Alzheimer's.

The fabulation continued after the noticing, influenced by and somehow connected to the previous fabulation about fluorescent algae, one where marine species came to visit humans. Looking back from the old fish market, the new fish market stands at the beginning of the road that leads into the old town. Eventually, some of the marine species develop some kind of limbs that allow them to move outside the depth of the sea.

Figure 3: Hand-written fabulation transcribed

“The algae and moss move into the city and take over the old marketplace. They start to invite sea creatures and marine biodiversity, blurring the limits of the human/sea ecosystems”

Algae and moss move into the city, and fish and turtles venture into the city streets, not covered in green wet moss. The fish develops some sort of limbs, like the turtle, and is able to move over wetlands outside the water.

Figure 4: Fabulating - transcribe handwriting:

Fabulating … interspecies care…” People and marine species cohabit and coexist. Humans are cherishing the green algae and musk, which relieve them from heavy depression and other degenerations. They welcome all the livelihood these new hybrids species bring so they fill their ground floors and basements with sea water – make them watertight so secies are free. The rising sea levels are filling up some spaces naturally. Humans make sure these species have nutrients and the right conditions to thrive.

The fish and octopuses that develop these limbs occupy the old fish market. Humans are pleased that marine species visit and occupy their habitat.

They seal the market doors and fill up the old fish market with seawater so the marine species can stay and spend time there, come and go as they please. The market has a special connection to the sea – so the species can come and go without exiting the space. Then humans will visit them, wearing special equipment (like the old diving equipment- but now much lighter and easier to use) that let them stay and breathe underwater and befriend their new friends.
