Cage

The ocean, once the natural habitat of marine life, has tragically been transformed into a prison for marine animals due to human interference. Through the manipulation of colors and sound effects, the intention is to evoke an emotional response from viewers, prompting them to contemplate humanity's impact on the ocean. This includes activities such as overfishing, the proliferation of plastic and other marine debris, and the discharge of hazardous substances into the waters.
