SEA THE WALL see : look / sea : ocean / wall : barrier sea the wall serise has can multiple meanings Sea wal, and Sea the wall. The sea, which accounts for 70% of the Earth, has long been the home of human life, while on the other hand, it has been a huge barrier to greed that wanted to conquer a new continent. For a long time, numerous explorers and scientists have challenged and studied the sea out of curiosity, but the sea is still an unknown space because only a small part of what we currently know about the sea.
Thanks to the development of science and technology, which is a product of curiosity, we have achieved the achievement of obtaining the wall as a travel destination and a place of entertainment, but ironically, due to the series of processes, we have faced the disaster of global warming and weather change. The nail of humanity's greed is creating a gap in the huge barrier of the sea, causing irrevocable dangers to flow out. The images of the sea and waves seen on the huge wall in the work symbolize visual beauty and at the same time a disaster that can attack mankind at any time. Their facial expressions are unknown from the back of humans (me and us) that are small between the structures. Whether you feel the visual joy of appreciating the sea or fear and pressure is an area of imagination based on your own experience. Scientists have warned of global warming and climate change. Something similar to Adam McKay's black comedy film Don Look Up is happening around us. In the face of a scheduled disaster, we have identified lethargy in numerous films. What we can do at this point in time, and how we should do it.
