Reflection

Through everything that I have done completing this art project, I learned that ocean pollution gives me the feeling of loss and forgetfulness. This is because even though there is growing awareness about ocean pollution, many people seem to forget how it even came to be. Because of our own ignorance of the ocean, many lives have to suffer, and some people cannot even appreciate what the ocean is. In my submission, you see what pollution has done to the landscape, and what was a beach is now a landfill. Despite what is happening, you can see a child's aspiration for a clean ocean through a window. The sketches he drew, and the postcard he even taped over the polluted landscape shows how much he cares for the ocean. And through what you see over the drawings is the child, ready to make his dreams come true.
