The satellite images show the uplift zones in the north became terrestrial, killing reefs, while southern subsidence drowned mangroves. But twenty years on, the coral recruitment in the south is astonishing—nature’s paavam, resilient thing. My life as an illustrator, tracking changes frame by tedious frame on my daughter’s lagging laptop, makes me see the data not as recovery, but as a stubborn, beautiful recolonisation. Everyone expects a tragic loss, but the colours in the new growth metrics are vibrant, like the stubborn joy in my monthly royalty that keeps upgrading that laptop possible.
