Reflection
I began this animation to change people's mentality. Not just about water pollution, but on how we as humans treat the Earth. The act of recycling and being mindful of your waste shows who you are as a person; it defines us as individuals and reflects our very souls. When a person neglects the resources that grant them life, what stops them from being negligent in other aspects? As I look around me, I see people advocating for change and making positive choices to help the environment. I myself will always make contributions towards protecting the ocean. Still, there are those who do the opposite and forget how precious water is. I wanted to create a clear, simple animation that conveyed how each of us is part of a whole and that our actions towards nature can translate to our social structure. I hope I can inspire others to strive for Earth's prosperity, as well as our own. Healing our planet can be achieved once we aspire to it.
