Reflection

Imagine this: the blue ocean in Hawaii turns into an enormous pool of devastation, ruin, and loss. An enormous pool of garbage. If you were ever caught in a tsunami, would you want millions of unsanitary plastic bags floating around next to you, or would you rather watch the turtles swim freely next to you, without a care in the world? I have done a lot of volunteer work involving seaside garbage pick-up by picking up litter. I hope that anyone who sees this painting will reflect on themselves; on how they can take action in making our Earth better. If you take a moment and think about this question properly, can tsunamis allow you to travel? The answer is yes, they can. Tsunamis surprisingly enough can actually transport you to somewhere else; although, you do not get to control the direction.
