Reflection

For my artwork, I decided to portray animals protesting the abuse of the ocean. Instead of people holding up the signs, I used sea creatures that come from different parts of the oceans to suggest that while it is helpful that humans are advocating to save the seas, we also need to look at how animals are being directly affected and how to treat each case of pollution. I was inspired to do this to teach others that though each animal living in the ocean will benefit from a general clean-up, some species need specific methods to completely change their home into a better place. A few may also think that when polluted waters are cleaned, their work is complete and the area will remain clean. My art piece was made to inform others that each case of pollution is special, and more careful measures may be needed in a few situations, rather than applying general rules every time.
