Reflection

I choose to use colored pencils to create this artwork, in fact all of my previous art projects have used this medium as well. I prefer colored pencils because they are generally easier to work with and are convenient to use, making me feel comfortable and in control. I executed the theme of “The Silent Cry of the Ocean” and depicted colorful oil slicks spreading on the water’s surface. A dead fish lays there with it pale belly and empty eyes, as if making a desperate appeal. Where the pelican lies lifelessly, and  withered branches on the water’s surface seemed to mourn for these dead creatures. This shocking scene serves as a stern warning, reminding us that oil pollution is ruthlessly consuming the oceans upon which we depend and severely impacting the overall ecological environment. I hope this will encourage people to pay closer attention. Currently marine and even human life is facing the threat of mass death, and the primary culprit behind this tragedy is not just oil pollution but so many other types of pollution. So, the next time you need to dispose of garbage, oil, or harmful chemicals, please make sure to ensure proper and standardized disposal methods. At the same time, I hope to spread the concept of this to everyone and the importance of keeping our oceans safe.
