The thinking skill for this project was reasoning. I chose a problem that I am really passionate about, which is plastic pollution in the ocean. I wanted to spread awareness to an issue that seems to be passed off to the side. Through the research I learned that the issue was way larger than I thought it was. The numbers were in the millions and I never knew the amount in the ocean each DAY.

Plastic Sea Turtle SculptureI decided to make a sea turtle because they are one of the most affected by plastics in the ocean. I used items that you would find trashing the beaches and polluting the oceans. These items include plastic straws, plastic bags, can tabs, and a laser cut shell pattern from hard plastic. The reasoning behind this was to show a creature that is so heavily affected by plastics, it is basically made out of plastic. |
