The Fight to Survive

Reflection

For this art piece, I was inspired by the will to live which the animals, birds, and ocean wildlife display. Humans on a daily basis are making it continuously harder for these creatures to live and thrive without realizing the depth of their actions. With this being said, my picture displays two pelicans: The one on the right symbolizes the pollution in the ocean, with the litter lined in its wings and the oil dripping from its mouth, and the one on the left symbolizes the pelican as a species and its fight to survive against the dangerous pollution of its habitat.
