Reflection

My video is inspired by my scuba diving trip a couple of years ago to the pristine Andaman & Nicobar Islands in India. After observing the amazing marine animals, their exotic features, and graceful movements, I developed a profound love for them. Consequently, when I learned about the torture they were undergoing, I could not just stand there without doing anything. While creating this film, many feelings have aroused, like sorrow, sympathy, guilt, and a sense of restlessness. My message would be to give attention, even if it's the tiniest amount, to this horrifying situation that could eventually wipe humans off the face of the Earth. Some actions that I will personally take would be to significantly reduce my plastic intake, make a bigger statement about marine life, and appreciate and care for the dwindling amounts of nature surrounding us.
