Protect our coral reefs

My painting is divided into two parts. The upper part shows a beautiful, healthy corals reef supported by two hands bringing upward and away from the oil and pollution from the sea. Saving our corals is also represented by the two hands. The second part below shows a man collecting the crude oil from the sea. The wakashio episode in the year 2020. In the state of environmental emergency, Many local volunteers were making cloth barriers stuffed with dry glass some use hair as an absorber. The expression on the man face in the painting as if he feel sad and wand to cry. His eyes were fixed on the oil coming from the hands. His white coat was turn into brown or black with the black oil. I also emphasise on other ways people destroy our beautiful corals. I show plastic bottles in the sea and an anchor destroying the corals. The boat breaking on the reefs shows how irresponsible people are.
