Consequences

Clean air to me means air without pollution, and bad air carries toxic gases. That is why I chose to draw what causes toxic air: a chemical plant, representing where the gas comes from, and the opposite of unhealthy air, clean air, which we should maintain for the good of all living things.

Sea Senses

Visiting the beach one gets to experience air in different ways- smelling the salty sea air, feeling the air as it blows against your skin and seeing the fine grains of sand in the air and the ripples in the waves. Air is all around us and at the beach, one can be immersed in the opportunity to experience how air is all around us and fills our senses.
