Turtles are beautiful majestic creatures that live in the sea, but their environment is being destroyed by humans waste. Products like plastic bags and straws litter the coral reefs and shores that the turtles inhabit. The pollution in the turtles environment has caused the population to decline, and their habitats to be destroyed. I used this as inspiration to create a sculpture purely out of plastic bags and straws.
