Here is my original caption in its unaltered state: "Water soluble oil pastels applied dry.
This lineless inspired piece was created to bring awareness to the vaquita porpoise, the most endangered and rarest species of marine animal in the world. With under ten individuals left in the wild, unsustainable along with illegal fishing practices are a huge threat, and if we don't do something soon this amazing creature will be gone forever. I utilized the fact that teardrops have a similar shape to water when flowing in a downward direction, representing the symbolic emotional plight we humans have put their entire species through just for monetary gain. I accentuated the "shapes" made throughout the shadow and various values of the water most, using a limited yet defined pallette of various blues (along with white for highlighting) for a striking visual effect, using the same technique (different colors) at a lower scale on the subject in the middle (the porpoise). Using my etching tool I added extra textures throughout to help the configurations look less flat, adding a bit more depth to the viewer's eye. Thanks for viewing, I hope this inspired you to take action! :)
