This piece that I named “Eye Sea Danger”” focuses on the danger caused by plastic pollution. In this piece you can see an eye crying while there is a whale jumping out of a sea of plastic. The whale made out of plastic, shows how whales consume plastic without even realizing it.
The pattern in this painting is about the cycle of plastic in the ocean. Plastic gets thrown into the ocean, people then collect some of the plastic out of the ocean, then it sadly gets put right back in.
Plastic in the ocean causes a lot of damage not only to the ecosystem underwater but to us as well. Fish eat the plastic and then we consume the fish which causes us to get sick.
The plastic pieces are actually collected from the beaches in Bermuda. This piece has a lot of meaning to me because when I was collecting the plastic, it wasn’t hard to find..We try to keep our oceans clean, but plastic will forever remain in our oceans unless we start to do something about it. This painting is meant to bring awareness of the dangers of plastic in our waters.
