ACAP is grateful for Apple Resonance’s support of albatross conservation through her art, as it is for all the contributing ABUN artists over six productive collaborations in support of World Albatross Day.

ACAP’s fourth collaboration (Project #43) with Artists and Biologists Unite for Nature (ABUN) for World Albatross Day 2023 (WAD2023)  had the theme of ‘Plastic Pollution’.  It resulted in 55 artworks being submitted.  Six works came from Apple (Chan) Resonance. Originally from Manila, Philippines, she now lives in California, USA.

Two years later, Apple has once more produced a portfolio of six artworks to mark WAD2025 on 19 June.  This year’s theme was ‘Effects of Disease”, supported by two featured albatrosses, the Endangered Amsterdam Diomedea amsterdamensis, endemic to France’s Amsterdam Island, and the Endangered Indian Yellow-nosed Thalassarche carteri, that breeds on islands in the southern Indian Ocean.  Apple has contributed two paintings of the Amsterdam Albatross and four of the Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross, as illustrated here.
