While it may seem cliche to say, thanks to the myriad of politicians constant talk of it, but the ocean is the largest natural expanse we have in this planet. It contains more life then anywhere else and covers more of the earth than any landmass. 

 

Many have seen the ocean in its pristine form—A whale or shark breaching the water, jellyfish floating calmly through the sea, and so forth. These are scenes that we conjure when we envision the ocean. The next generation may not however. Instead, when the ocean is thought of, man made plastics—  bags, bottles and other debris may insteadfill the minds of people. 

 

A changing climate is not something that waits for the people to understand it. It is immediate, this immediacy translates well into the process of cyanotypes. Where the Bright blue colors may not last and the addition of extras can change the the print drastically. Much like the ocean.
