A Cup of Ocean’ is a project collaborated with the local ceramic studio, Silo. The concept inspired by drinking water in a mug, as the water we consume for living also connected to underwater living things. 3 endangered sea creatures were chosen for representing resilience and vulnerability:
- A Drowning Whale: In this illustration, a whale’s exposed bones foreshadow its fate. It symbolizes how water pollution has disrupted their harmonious existence, contrasting with a time when they once breached joyfully on the ocean’s surface.
- A Sea Turtle with a Broken Shell: Though a sea turtle’s shell represents resilience, the exposed bone here is a metaphor: even the strongest shell cannot shield against the tragedy caused by human actions.
- A Graceful Group of Stingrays in Flight: The stingray, an endangered species facing extinction since 2023, is portrayed swimming gracefully in a group—a symbol of elegance and freedom—yet now fragile under the threat of extinction.
