Under the Surface of the Earth

Under the surface of the Earth

            I thought of the earth, the way I saw the Beach on Sunday morning. From afar the beach seemed very clean with blue water, baby blue skies, peachy tanned sand and surfers at the peak of a wave. As I got closer the trash began to emerge more and more and the sand became dangerous to walk on and the surfers were drained in filthy water. This experience gave me a vision for my art piece. The top of the earth is how we view it from a distance, very clean, beautiful, green grass, brown mountains, and white clouds. The bottom half of the globe is the real surface of the earth meaning the streets, towns, beaches, and any other land that is most likely filled with our trash that we decided throw on the ground. The objects used in this project are just one of many harmful pieces that stay in our earth forever and eventually end up in our oceans. Also, we look at the trash found in Dockweiler Beach which is only a tiny area of our earth, just imagine conditions on other parts of the world. I used the trash to represent the outcome of throwing trash in the street. This trash is ending up in our home plant and is becoming toxic. The trash left behind effects every part of the world until trash eventually takes over man.
