Our Ocean

  One night, I was watching Korean news media, which was when I first heard about Japan's plan to release polluted Fukushima water. The first thought that occurred to me was: "Is that safe? What about the ocean creatures? What about fish markets? What about sushi??" As I thought about the issues with polluted water, I wanted to show people visually the effects of ocean pollution. I want individuals to be more mindful of the consequences of each of our small decisions and actions can lead to.

  Creativity to me is my ability to share my ideas and thoughts with people around me through visual representations.
