Explanation of my mask and its message
This year, invisible viruses crept into our societies and overthrew our familiar lives. As predatory fish face the danger of extinction, ocean temperatures rise, plastic debris piles up, and industrial structures provide unexpected safe havens, jellyfish populations are exploding and causing jellification of many waters. With the end of quarantine, people roam our cities, masked in the heat of the Summer. An eerie sight not unlike an ocean surface covered with jellyfish. This sight reminds us of jellyfish feeding off of already existing problems, and creating even bigger problems. People roam the streets because we all seek new ways to connect physically and mentally with one another as jellyfish do with their feelers.
My solution to the environmental crisis
We must not despair at the size of the problems. We must all find our own purpose and begin to act no matter how small the action. Collectively we can choose to be part of the solution instead of the problem.
