Sea Change was an art installation I created with the intent of bringing awareness to the detrimental issues of plastic pollution in the ocean. Upon entering, the viewer is able to see a joyous oceanic scene in which shimmering lights reflect off blue strands of plastic representing waves, and whale sounds play in the distance. Whilst continuing through the room the path gets smaller and trash becomes more apparent, causing the viewers to feel disturbed and claustrophobic. The goal is to create an environment that provides an emotional experience to raise awareness about the current issues of plastic pollution and inspire change. Before exiting the installation the path leads to a separate room where guests can make a pledge of actions they will take to combat plastic waste. This dichotomy of imagery is meant to engage the viewers’ emotions, invoking positive thoughts and feelings about the ocean and also the tragedy of what can go unseen, our part in destroying or saving the only planet we have.
