We use fishing nets, marine debris and other marine debris to build a device on the beach, with the intention of awakening people’s awareness of protecting the ocean. The appearance of the device is conch-shaped, people enter the device from the entrance will first feel novel because of the colorful light refracted by the marine garbage, as the tour continues, the spatial changes gradually narrow, accompanied by the arrangement of marine garbage is more dense, the light that shines into the interior of the device is less and less, the dim and crowded environment begins to make people feel depressed, this is our simulation of the pollution of a large number of garbage, the living environment of marine life, this claustrophobic state reminds everyone that the situation of marine garbage pollution is becoming increasingly severe, Action to protect the oceans is urgent.Our installation consists mainly of three parts, metal brackets, fishing nets, and marine debris, all of which are from the sea. We first use a metal steel frame to build a conch shape as the support structure of the device and then marine debris is collected to clean and load into the nets .Finally fixed them to the steel frame.
