My heart and soul is connected to aquatic life and their environments. I love to teach others about the mistreatment they experience. Usually my work is based on goldfish or oceanic invertebrates, so the shark is a complete opposite of my normal domesticated animal work. The domestic vs the wild is a whole other project that I'd love to explore.
My idea behind this project was that sharks are not necessarily always the predator. Unfortunately, sharks are often hunted for their dorsal fins to make "fin soup". After the hunters cut off their dorsal fins, they release them back into the ocean, leaving the shark to die. On the other hand, "JAWS" and the recent Blake Lively movie, "The Shallows", portray sharks as vicious to all human life. Yet, we find their teeth washed up on shore and don't blink an eye. I'm not saying that that is a bad thing, as long as you are not killing the animals specifically for their teeth or their fins.  |
