Introduction:

It is indisputable that marine plastic pollution is threatening the balance of "marine environment, marine wildlife, and human activities".

Using recycled plastic bottles, &dear art group created marine life sculptures of green sea turtle, manta ray, and African penguin.

Blue ocean is the habitat we all yearn for.  HKMM “Blue Ocean Gallery” is named as a reminder for us to care for our ocean.

Will this exhibition inspire you to reflect on human behaviour? When you decide to use plastic next time, will you think twice?
