Description: Hand-cut paper collage using pieces from vintage sources on
a hand-painted acrylic paint background. Greek Goddess of the sea,
Amphitrite, is posed with hands in prayer, looking mournfully as plastic
trash is interwoven with ocean life. A crown of fish, shells, and sea-plants
sits atop her head, along with man-made objects like air conditioners and
washing machines. A single tear falls from her eye.
