"Ridge to Reef Catastrophe" by Ashley Ko, Age 16, Nevada, United States of America
ARTIST’S STATEMENT: My artwork relates to the theme, “Ridge to Reef,” as it provides a glimpse of the struggling life that is occurring in the animals and plants that are living in these ecosystems. The dark, mysterious figure that is placed in the middle, is filled with pollution and leads to all disaster. This antagonist is bringing along catastrophe as it approaches the whirlpool of all life: land and sea. It is important to save both ecosystems and the life that is living in these areas.
