Mindblown by the detail and the drama of Andrew Lee (17, Washington)'s Silver Award winning digital art from our 2021 Ocean Awareness Contest 🤯 It's an intense piece, but powerful, too.

"Every week, my family and I visit our grandparents and spend our time at the Seattle pier. As we take our weekend stroll across the docks, I always notice unpleasant speckles that interrupt the peaceful waters. These speckles are human litter, garbage that isn’t meant to be there," he wrote.

"The Ferris-wheel ride was specifically chosen to personify the never-ending cycle of our water contamination. 🎡

We continuously lack care for our waters, defiling them with tons and tons of waste annually. The ride itself is symbolic of the environment that we live in, as seen by the young boy safely seated on it. However, the ride’s noticeable cracks are intentionally made to show that our mistreatment towards our Earth have started to take its toll.

To save our water, our careless mindset must change." 💧🤲
