It only took 3 days to collect every plastic I used to create this piece. Pollution is one of the biggest issues in today's world. Especially, ocean pollution and debris that covers the ocean surface cause impact of blocking the sunlight from sea plants which slow down their growth. The factor that interferes with light in the life cycle of the sea is waste, and 80 percent of ocean waste is plastic. Only 5-6 percent of the plastic in the US was recycled in 2021. Thus, the Dazzling Shadow is to turn this obstruction to flow with the cycle of nature by ?Recycling? plastic with an emphasis on the function of light and the problem of pollution in nature. Dazzling Shadow suggests the irony of how we see it as a beautiful shadow while it is actually harmful to oceanic plants.
