Reflection

I have been interested in art for as long as I can remember. Art classes have always been my favorite elective. The prompt of creating something involving a serious problem but constructing it in a satirical way made this project fun. My message is to spread awareness of the problem of ocean pollution, and to not use single use items like plastic water bottles. I will be more conscious of my waste consumption by avoiding single use items as much as possible. I will also vote for politicians who prioritize creating and implementing solutions to protect our planet's life.
