In my work there is a turtle with a water bottle in its mouth. The background is dim, and the turtle is blazing. I wanted to emphasize the turtle because I wish to say, “That beautiful life is dying in that dark ocean because of that plastic water bottle.” For me, ocean pollution means people are killing precious and innocent marine lives without any caring or loving toward them.
