Mural done by artist Draya Madu located in the Seaport neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
The bottom part of Untitled paints a splendid toadfish in the water surrounded by colorful corals. The splendid toadfish, also called the coral toadfish, is a type of toadfish endemic to the island of Cozumel. A girl is looking down to the toadfish from the image above, and a fish hook holding in the girl's hand connects the two images together. While the color choices of the mural is bright and vibrant, it conveys a quite worrisome message that worth a lot of attention--the coral toadfish as well as other ocean species are living in danger because of human activities. This mural encourages us to take actions on protection of endemic species, starting to support the prevention of marine pollution, establishment of marine protected areas, etc., so we can live in a world with sustainable natural resources and stable environment.
