The original piece was raising awareness about recycling, depicting an ocean
wherein there is a plastic bag that also looks like an iceberg. I decided to
stay with the original theme of the piece and expand on it. I decided to pit
left against right, planet against plastic. The left side is dedicated to all
things natural: the forest, skies, trees, and wildlife. The right side is
filled with commercialized plastic products that use materials that can be
harmful to the environment, many of which will likely find themselves in our
oceans one day. The edges of the remix also hold significance. I trimmed
the edges of the left side so that the images are confined to the page, just
like our forests are being trimmed back into smaller and smaller areas. On the
other hand, the right side of the page is flowing off the edges of the paper,
just like our plastic waste keeps overflowing and growing to fill our oceans
and planet. Lastly, I left the original image in the center, drawing the most attention
to the plastic bag/iceberg image that draws the entire piece together.
