Our eco-system is comprised of interdependent animals and
plants which constitute a complex web of life, where the extinction of a single
species may affect the whole biological system pertaining to life and living
things. The reasons for this threat to marine life are varied, but mostly due
to irrational human behavior and activities: extensive overfishing and pervasive water pollution, the rising
of the ocean’s temperatures. Because of the oceanic impacts of global warming,
we could be facing a sweeping loss of species in the near future. The collection
does not wish to be a prediction or a snapshot of future’s memories, but more
of a meditation upon the beauty of marine life that could extinct, trying to
bring awareness and to find new ways to engage people in thinking and taking
action on critical issues of climate change and extinction due to human
intervention. We shouldn’t build monuments for mourning the past, for what we
cannot change, but for now, while we can still change the present course of
marine life.
