I considered the material I used in every piece, mainly reusing or repurposing items that would have been thrown out. Specifically, in this piece, I repurposed old toy cars that my brothers no longer used, which would have piled onto landfills if I had not. I also thought about how my chosen materials could enhance how the viewers see and think about the piece. It was a challenging but fun process of finding the best materials to help convey the meaning and idea that I wanted to share, as the slightest detail could help bring the whole work to another level. In this work, I felt that something was missing. After multiple trials and errors, I added mirrors to multiply the dead coral I made, symbolizing the continuous cycle of marine animals affected by rising CO2 levels from vehicle emissions. The mirrors worked as the unveiling of the culprit for the damaged environment: the viewers. As I had hoped, this last element helped make the piece more interesting and complex." #APArt #APArtandDesign
