The Last Ocean

Reflection
Reflection

My inspiration for this painting comes not only from the documentary about pollution, but also from the combination of imagination and reality - the imagination is that human beings bring the two sides of the sea closer to facilitate fishing; the reality is that human industry pollutes the sea and the blue sky. Or I feel helpless and compassionate to see the creatures around me who are dying out because of the changing climate and environment. I decided to help them through my own efforts, and I took my own action: my painting was born, and my purpose was to appeal to others to protect our "last ocean".
