Flora and Fauna: Multicolored Melancholy–Green

The creation depicts a sea turtle with a plastic straw in his nose.

In LEGO, we often use multicolored pieces inside a model to save on costs. However, in this specific creation, we divert this playful aspect to address the problem of pollution affecting marine species ironically. 

The splash of color hints at the microplastics that have infiltrated living organisms, revealing the severity of the situation only when the animal is opened. It reflects a deeper meaning behind cheerful colors.

Project is 32×56 studs, sea turtle is mounted sideways on the base to fit.
