Reference
according to the artist 'I photographed turtles swimming ashore and laying eggs at the National Mexican Turtle Centre, Mazunte, Oaxaca. However, plastic six-pack rings often litter the seashore and occasionally ensnare a turtle, leading to its death. This painting is from the series A Plastic Naked Sea, exhibited in Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico, 2020.'
