Forbidden Feast: A Meal Covered in Plastic
The Hackensack River in New Jersey was designated as a Superfund Site due to heavy contamination with strict advisories against the consumption of marine life caught. This painting depicts a common traditional Korean meal centered around mackerel, a fish often called "the ocean's barley" in Korea for its nutritional value and health benefits. The scene symbolizes how plastic pollution has even infiltrated our food, preventing us from eating truly healthy, clean meals. Material : Acrylic, gel pen Size : 24X18Gianna Park
