This beautiful sunet colored work (3 of 3) has moving eyes that watch all the time in all angles. This was done in relation to what we are doing to our oceans. It is our hope that we do something about the problems we are causing to our future generations. Chemicals, radiation, drugs, oil, human induced dumpsite of plastics and all imagination of material goods have ended up in the oceans. Despite this bleak fact, we can begin taking individual steps to help our part. After all as a single person I am just a "drop in the ocean." But that is good enough for me to start.

Oceans In Peril Ltd.
Our ancestors told us to show respect to the land, the water, and the security of the generations to come. To take only what we need and continue nature’s sustainability.
Communities around the world are witnessing untold numbers of mass die offs of ocean creatures. Deep sea creatures are washing up too. We are an insatiable disposable society on a collision course to dooming ourselves. Our plane of thought is limited to the out-of-sight out-of-mind mentality. We buy then dispose every single time. That’s 8 billion of us. Besides pollution, large fish trawlers are throwing away thousands of metric tons of other fish, breaking the ocean’s balance and sustainability.
We have forever chemicals and microplastics in our bodies. Industrial pollution, radiation, pesticides, plastics, and all the hazardous poison spewing from us. It is real, it is ominous.
We must remember our creator for all the gifts of harvest and gathering. But today, we have forgotten. New inventions and wonders of the world distract us. Then dispose without a thought. Have we forgotten?
The fish and wildlife return to the creator and report if the humans remembered the creator. How well their bodies were treated during harvests and gatherings, and if they were shared among the poor and elderly. But today we see all the trouble our resources are facing, threatening future generations of all life. It is every single human being’s duty to remember future generations of all life. Because all of us are one, on one planet.
