Dead palm trees. Dead coral reefs. These are warnings about the threat to our ocean ecosystem.
The scuba diving weights symbolize how much stress this planet is under. The toilet is a callback to the felonious actions in Florida, where the government was illegally dumping waste water into the ocean, damaging the coral. Other elements represent polluting particles and compounds and the need to investigate and hold our politicians accountable for their actions.
Dead palm trees, dead coral reefs a warning to out ocean eco systems, the fishing a scuba diving weighs simbolcing how muchstress this planet is in, every thing is a symbol is this work, the long snorkel is becuse the 100 feet of recreational diving is no more we only are going to reach 90 feet in the near future, the idea came from a PBS articule about the goverment in some part of Florida was spealing xxxx water in the ocean and by doing so the gorvement ancies was killing the coral until some investigate the reason why a luckly they stop the water dump. in my case I put a toy toilet a throne with smoke coming out it with and xray image behind it in top of the black coral with the still color particles still alive.
