Silent Seas

Each photo on the perimeter of this composition represents commonly found pollutants that pose some of the largest threats to our oceans ecosystems. These include chemical fertilizers, plasticides (nurdles), glass, discarded fishing net, oil, effects of ocean acidification, and overfishing. The middle photo represents a pristine, clean ocean that we are working to get back to. This is a series of original photographs inspired by an undying love for our ocean's, and a drive to spread awareness in an effort to protect its beauty and inhabitants.

The Red Cove

"Each year from approximately September 1 to March 1, a large-scale hunt of dolphins takes place in the small village of Taiji, Japan. During this period, fisherman, or dolphin hunters, utilize drive hunt techniques to herd large numbers of dolphins to shore, resulting in their capture or death." (Ric O'Barry's Dolphin Project, 2018)
