Reflection
This is the story of the creation of my work. A lot of effort and time was spent. Since the theme of the 2021 Ocean Awareness Contest is “Water Rising,” I decided to highlight the problem of flooding territories, cities, and lands. I wanted to express that we can help other people and nature when it comes to sea level rise, that we still have chance to save what we love and need, and that we should value what we have. I am reassured by the fact that, every year, society begins to devote more attention to protecting and restoring nature. I will try to help as much as possible so that together we can prevent the disappearance of such beautiful places.
