Artist Statement

Ocean Water Waste depicts the huge problem of ocean or marine littering. I have made quite a few water paintings as water and land are my favorite earth elements. These three pieces are beautiful like our real oceans in spite of the litter dumped on them. This reminds me of our human spirit. Even when we are dumped on (esp. in pandemic times), our essence is still exquisitely beautiful.

This series honors our oceans and brings some attention to their degradation by pollution. Unfortunately, their exquisite beauty does not exempt them from reckless and the oftentimes negligent actions of their caretakers. I sincerely believe that our humanity is not only in our treatment of each other but in our treatment of the most precious resources entrusted to us.
