The Empty Trash Can

Lady Trash The title of my art project is “Lady Trash,” which shows a lady wearing a dress that was made out of trashes that I picked up around my neighborhood. All people like beautiful clothings, including myself; however, many people ignored that fact that the materials that were used to make our clothings can be very harmful to the environment. The process of producing clothing can also affect the environment because it waste a lot of water. I used the color red to fill the background because I wanted to show my angers toward environmental issues that we had created and people’s ignorance toward these issues. I encourage people to recycle,not only clothing, because “trash” can be use to create new things and can also be use to create arts. It is important to protect the environment that we live in because it is our home.

"What you leave behind from the night you don't remember/ but your beach does"

More To The Eye Can See

A box that is to display the ocean that people see. In reality everything they are not seeing is how plastic and trash inside the ocean is not going away. The miniature entrance on the side lets people see what they are putting into their own waters.

"Reality" is the picture above with a black and white effect, making the trash on the sand standout. This is the reality of our beaches, they have all these ridiculous pieces of trash affecting the environment and the animals at the beach. 

The picture above is named "Imagination", it is named imagination because it was drawn based on what people think of when they hear the word beach or ocean. This is the type of beach we want, but unfortunately we do not converse it and rather looks like the drawing "Reality". 

Silent Predator

People tend to believe that sharks are the most dangerous creatures n the ocean. However there is something way worse. Trash! Trash in the ocean is a serous threat and a silent predator. They kill sea creatures without them knowing. They eat them either by hunting other fish or mistaking them for food. While walking along the beach of Dockweiler I picked up so much trash. In this scene the great white shark is swimming in a sea of trash. Eating the trash can potentially harm the shark. However to the shark it doesn't know what it is and thinks of it as food. All these pieces of trash were some that I picked up at the Heal The Bay event even the toy shark. While picking up the trash I realized how dirty our beaches are and that we need to take care of them or else we risk losing our friends in the ocean. We need to take action because even a shark is vulnerable to these silent predators.
