Last week, we proudly announced the finalists in the ages 11-14 category of our 2022 Science Without Borders® Challenge. Today, we are excited to announce the 15-19 year-old finalists of our art contest.
Contest finalists are from China, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The theme, “Ridge to Reef” was portrayed in the students’ artwork through a variety of different actions such as planting corals, cleaning up pollution, preventing overfishing, and planting trees. We were amazed by these students’ creativity, execution of the theme, and artistic abilities.
Without further ado, please meet our 15-19 year old finalists:
"Ridge to Reef Catastrophe" by Ashley Ko, Age 16, Nevada, United States of America
ARTIST’S STATEMENT: My artwork relates to the theme, “Ridge to Reef,” as it provides a glimpse of the struggling life that is occurring in the animals and plants that are living in these ecosystems. The dark, mysterious figure that is placed in the middle, is filled with pollution and leads to all disaster. This antagonist is bringing along catastrophe as it approaches the whirlpool of all life: land and sea. It is important to save both ecosystems and the life that is living in these areas.
