great lakes memory boat



This boat looks at the effects of water pollution on the aquatic life that resides within it, as well as to humans, who both consume the fish and create the pollution. The shadow beneath Great Lakes contains smooth lake rocks, beach glass, shells and sand. Scattered on top of this is beach trash found along a half-mile stretch of Lake Michigan.
