As I was creating this art, I felt terrible for the marine animals whose homes are invaded by the abandoned objects that were once owned by humans. I felt frustrated by humans' reliance on other individuals to resolve the problem. Humans are trapping marine animals with trash, smoke, and other toxic materials, and yet we never stop to look back at the extinct animals. We let them fly away, pop, or disappear out of view like a bubble. If the atmosphere fills with polluted bubbles, then there is no childhood left for kids and no room left for us to breathe.
