The painting was made by color pencil and watercolor. The girl in this painting is the guardian of the ocean. She is trying to hold the fish in her hand to tell all the people that it is time to use our hands to protect theses animals instead of destroying their homeland. The serious greenhouse effect is leading to the melting of ice and rising of the sea level. The melting ice cubes in the painting represent the rising ocean temperature. The falling ice cubes tells us we have to make a move to stop the ice from melting. The pattern behind the girl is a star inside a circle. It represents connection, and tells us that protecting our earth is not a job done by one person. Instead, everyone in the earth should work together to reduce the pollution and make our earth better.
