This thought-provoking sculpture reflects on the environmental and emotional toll of navigating turbulent waters, both literal and metaphorical. A weathered buoy, tilted precariously, is overgrown with a chaotic mass of marine vegetation and debris, symbolizing the relentless accumulation of ecological and human burdens. The buoy's once-pristine surface, marked with signs of wear and the faded logo of Earth, underscores the strain placed on our planet by pollution and neglect.
The vibrant spill of blue paint beneath the buoy serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of our oceans, contrasting with the buoy's resilience in standing against the chaos. Topped with decayed antenna-like sensors, the piece invites viewers to reflect on humanity’s responsibility to balance progress with preservation. This installation embodies the critical need for stewardship in the face of global challenges.
