This self-portrait captures a woman, bound in a red net, struggling for liberation. An empty crab shell, caught in the net, serves as a poignant reminder of our fragile marine life. The woman's endeavor to free herself parallels our collective duty to untangle and rectify our influence on oceanic habitats. More than a self-representation, this photograph is a wake-up call to humanity, urging ocean preservation and environmental responsibility.
