Cooper Bodeo-Lomicky
“Escape”
Reflection
My name is Cooper Bodeo-Lomicky and I am from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I’ve
always loved art and nature and this competition is a perfect way to blend the two together for a great cause. What I have drawn shows off how the sea is contaminated with plastic waste, which is damaging the marine ecosystems. The animals swimming away from the plastic represents hope for the future, because we still have time to repair the damages we have caused. However, we will not be able to save these magnificent animals if we don’t act quickly and with coordination. I hope my drawing impacts the viewer on an emotional level and makes them aware of the pollution our species has caused. We are killing out species purely due to our selfishness and laziness, and that needs to change.
