'New'-vember Day 28!
11/28/25 Doodle. A Pelican for 'New-vember', where I make collages with repurposed materials of animals that are most effected by litter and scenes of nature!
In today's world, environmental pollution, especially litter, has a profoundly negative impact on wildlife, including pelicans. Pelicans are vulnerable to pollution in their habitats, often suffering from entanglement or ingestion of waste like plastic bottles and caps. This artwork creatively uses repurposed materials, highlighted by the visible pieces such as bottle caps and cola bottles, to bring attention to the delicate balance between nature and human waste. Creating collages with recycled elements not only fosters artistic expression but also promotes sustainability by giving discarded materials new life. This approach encourages viewers to reflect on the consequences of littering and consider how everyday items contribute to the ongoing environmental crisis. Incorporating themes of recycling, art, and illustration, this piece serves as an educational tool and a call to action. By focusing on animals most affected by pollution, such as pelicans, artists and audiences alike can raise awareness and inspire change in community behaviors towards waste management. Engaging with such art also connects people to the emotional aspect of conservation. It reminds us that beyond statistics and reports, real creatures are suffering due to careless waste disposal. Embracing recycled art can be a meaningful way for communities to participate in environmental stewardship and inspire sustainable practices in daily life.
