Page spread for a nature magazine - Food Chains Under Threat
The intention for my project was to symbolise an ocean food chain within a single image, with the animals along the chain being afflicted by an environmental issue caused by humanity: the fish is caught in a fishing net to represent overfishing; the penguin has plastic can ring holders stuck around its neck to represent plastic pollution; and the orca is tangled in netting to represent both over-hunting and accidental entanglement. I wanted to signify that humanity is having a devastating effect on animals on every trophic level of the food chain and that this is causing an imbalance in the natural order, therefore threatening endangerment for many species.
