‘Royal’

‘Royal’, 2022

Stephanie Van Burk of Van Burk Official

Acrylic on Vegan Leather Jacket –  Size Medium

I’ve been inspired once again by the Pacific Ocean for this beautiful royal blue jacket. I used a different hue on this one: The primary blue. As I am very concerned about the actual pollution of the ocean. I am trying to make people aware of it and take action to start not using anymore plastic.

Marine pollution is a combination of chemicals and trash, most of which comes from land sources and is washed or blown into the ocean. This pollution results in damage to the environment, to the health of all organisms, and to economic structures worldwide.

About 10 million metric tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, killing seabirds, fish, and marine mammals. It breaks down into smaller pieces called microplastics that absorb a range of chemicals floating in the marine environment, including pesticides and toxic metals. So for the sake of our environment, please remember each time you buy something and get a plastic bag or anything containing plastic….
