If one looks at a fork, one thinks to eat. But in this case, of pollution in the water, has affected the lives of millions. The way, I expressed this story is very meaningful, in the form of art. Using Prismacolor pencils, I created an art piece. Bottles float the oceans, begging for one to pick it up, but not many act so. They may only look like, “litter,” but who did this “litter,” we did! And yet they damage the creatures of millions, when we are to blame. As shown, ribbonfish roam their lands, until they encounter plastic bottles. Later, it bumps into more and more. Soon, it many become one with the plastic bottles. It doesn't matter how impossible it seems, for I know that one would think that as soon as their eyes come upon my piece. But the problem is they didn’t ask for any of this. Their species has already been affected by our hunger for food, but now, what?! More bottles, to polluted their homelands, their family, and surroundings! This piece was inspired of how the ocean moves. The way ribbonfish, swirl and wave in the ocean. The most “common” to the mind that slithers in the ocean is eels. I wanted to infer that even the most uncommon get affected as well as the most Hopefully, my art piece can influence many to help these organisms. So, come with us, to help them, and together, slowly, we will fix this mess!
