"Aquatic Adventure Academy" series transforms a treble clef music note to create a female seahorse (Cleopatra) into a fictional character. I've incorporated underwater environments to house sea creatures. Inspired by the uses of natural elements I've created harmony in the composition of these prints and my interpretation of nature and spirituality. The viewer will be introduced to my ideology of what solutions influence marine culture after awareness to resolve the ramification caused from different pollution to the ecosystem. One will recognize the importance and impact used in visual communication to examine contemporary imagery. Visual arts serve as a universal language that opens the barrier and unifies the conceptual theme and innovative technology which allow any interested person to become involved.
