This thought-provoking artwork features a taxidermy oyster catcher perched on a black marble base, its beak dripping oil which comes from inside the polluted shells by the birds feet. The contrast between the preserved bird and the oily, lifeless shells creates a striking visual representation of the environmental impact of ocean pollution. The artist's choice to use taxidermy and real oyster shells adds a sense of realism and urgency to the message of the piece. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance of marine ecosystems and the devastating effects of human activities on the natural world.
