TERRACYCLE “BRAINS OF THE OCEAN”

28”x9”
Wall paint, Acrylic, & Spray paint

This underwater beauty was inspired by the company itself. I wanted to pay homage to the company for all the work they do in reusing and recycling. There’s estimated 150 million metric tons of plastic that exist in our oceans. Art is a great way to teach and make aware of how beautiful things are and why it’s important to keep them that way. This mural shows turtles, fish, coral and other amazing things that live amongst our oceans. The octopus is the smartest sea creature in the world. Depicted in the mural, it is saving the ocean by grabbing trash with its arms, and is larger in scale then anything else to show emphasis on how magnificent this creature is.
