Tairawhiti Seawalls


Seawalls were made from 23 artists from places like south africa switzerland usa ect that all came to gisborne for a project to decorate some of the blank walls around the city with creative murals about our oceans and things affecting them (pollution ect) and created some eye catching murals for our walls around town. I picked this one to give my opinion on.

I really like this mural because of how it's so colourful and vibrant and stands out on the wall with the blue background. I think how the seal is cut into pieces shows how the ocean is cutting up our animals when they consume some of the many pieces of trash in our ocean and slowly kills them from the inside (hence the colorful blood). And just in general how the rubbish is killing seals and other sea creatures in our ocean. Maybe even how it looks like pieces of sushi could mean how we are killing animals intentionally and feeding of them?  But overall i really enjoy this art and the the creativity it shows.
