In this collage, I started with the sandy shoe and made it the focus of my collage. I re-contextualized the shoe so it would no longer be seen as just a byproduct of pollution but something that can potentially be beautifully. More specifically, I made it into an island where life can grow, hence the flowers and trees. And the clouds are also another reminder of life, as they provide water. In terms of the background, I obviously chose water because it's an island. But I specifically chose a sunrise so that the orange matches with the trees. But also because they represent new beginnings, which we'll need as we move towards a more sustainable future.
