Have you ever noticed that our life is very similar to the well-known game "Monopoly"? Indeed, every day people compete with each other: who has the most extensive business, who has more cars and houses, who works in a more prestigious industry, and who earns more money? But what is the price of winning this fight? This is a game between people, but the price for it is the life of an entire planet, including its integral part—the world's ocean. My project is a reflection of this idea. The playing field symbolizes the world of social relationships, and the cube is the ocean, which they irreversibly affect. The consequences of anthropogenic impact do not benefit marine life. They will not be able to eliminate the harm of human activity even in many hundreds of years. Crabs will not be able to decorate corals discolored as a result of an increase in water temperature. Will doctors be able to find a pill that can reduce it? The amount of oxygen in the aquatic environment is significantly reduced. Are people ready to share oxygen tanks with fish but not another package from a supermarket? Through my work, I wanted to convey the idea that people will not lose in this "game" only if they quit it as soon as possible.
