Rest In Peace


Hello world! I constructed my art with the trash I found in Dockweiler Beach. My art portrays a skeleton of a sea turtle inside a prohibition symbol. The skeleton is made out of discarded fireworks about two inches long. The shell is two deflated balloons and candy rappers that can get easily get entangled with the sea turtle causing it to die. The prohibition symbol is made out of dirty rags, a plastic tube and a diagonal red string running from top left to bottom right. The prohibition symbol represents that sea turtles are evicted from their habitats because of coastal development. My sea turtle is buried on top of cement rather than a proper burial ground. Cement is the new urban ground that replace wildlife. Hopefully, the world soon realizes the destruction we cause to the environment daily! Step up and change the world by disposing your trash properly!
