Plastic Wave

- The image worked to my eye as a metaphor for the problem of plastic pollution in the world. The kid appears to be fleeing from a gigantic wave of plastic in which a few fish still survive. Plastic pollution in the ocean is a major environmental problem, with millions of tons of plastic entering the marine environment each year. This plastic debris, ranging from large pieces to microplastics, poses significant threats to marine life and ecosystems. Microplastics, which are fragments of larger plastic items, can enter the food chain and potentially pose risks to human health.
