My artwork is about how nuclear waste or nuclear power plants are polluting the ocean. The reason why I didn’t make the underwater ocean dirty is because when people see the ocean, they only see the outside image and they believe everything is all right even though nuclear power plants are harming our world little by little. Thus, I drew a dolphin slowly turning into waste, but because a human cared about these poor animals, she showed her affection towards this subject and slowly turned the dolphin back to normal. If you look closely, the nuclear power plant is actually a nose that is sucking in the black liquid. This resembles how we as humans might not know it, but the dangerous pollution emitted from the nuclear waste is also going to our nose. We need to be aware for the ocean and for our human health.
