This abstract oil painting unveils the delicate yet destructive relationship between humanity and the marine world. The skeletal ribcage, resembling both a decaying body and a sunken ship, embodies the impact of pollution—where ocean degradation mirrors human fragility. The surreal atmosphere draws the viewer into a space between beauty and loss, urging reflection on our responsibility for oceanic restoration and the cyclical consequences of our actions on marine life and human health. Oil on Canvas 70 x 100 cm
