Reflection
Reflection

Although the pollution just offshore is well known, people always feel that in the deep sea, in places like the polar regions, there will be still a clean area for humans. But it turns out that pollution has invaded all corners of the earth. So I made an art installation about ocean pollution, which included plastic, industrial waste, oil, eutrophication and other ocean pollution displays. I deployed this device in the form of a broken mug dumping trash. The "water" poured out of the mug is made of iron wire reinforcement. The hanging on the iron wire is divided into two parts, one side is metal industrial parts, the other is It is the marine garbage that actually exists in the ocean and the animals imprisoned by pollution. At the bottom of the device is a coral reef made of ultra-light clay. The cotton attached to the coral reef symbolizes the virus emanating from pollution, slowly eroding upward. Therefore, I hope that people who see this work will think about the issue of marine pollution, so that the world can more consciously protect the marine environment.
