Hi, I'm Smilee.

2
00:00:09.042 --> 00:00:10.410
I have joined The Outlaw Ocean Mural Project.

3
00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:13.446
It is a project created by Ian Urbina

4
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:17.183
that describes the role of the oceans.

5
00:00:18.251 --> 00:00:20.320
I am very happy and honored to have received this invitation

6
00:00:20.553 --> 00:00:24.958
to participate with other artists,

7
00:00:25.925 --> 00:00:31.564
as we shed light on the oceans,

8
00:00:31.631 --> 00:00:34.267
which are so beautiful, so big and so wonderful.

9
00:00:34.901 --> 00:00:37.737
But there is also

10
00:00:37.737 --> 00:00:44.277
so much chaos on the oceans of which I was unaware.

11
00:00:44.411 --> 00:00:48.081
I had no idea of the suffering and turmoil occurring at sea,

12
00:00:48.081 --> 00:00:50.450
but through this project my perspective on the oceans has changed.

13
00:00:51.084 --> 00:00:55.188
I now see the wide array of issues

14
00:00:55.755 --> 00:01:02.362
from illegal fishing to human trafficking, so many absurd and horrible things.

15
00:01:02.395 --> 00:01:05.231
This project is super important

16
00:01:05.231 --> 00:01:11.805
to convey what is happening at sea through art.

17
00:01:12.906 --> 00:01:15.041
I'm very pleased, humbled and grateful to be a part of this project.

18
00:01:15.642 --> 00:01:18.511
Thus, I hope I have helped

19
00:01:18.511 --> 00:01:22.682
increase awareness of these important issues.

20
00:01:23.616 --> 00:01:24.484
Thank you very much.
