Los Angeles-based artist Lauren YS created the mural Pandora on the side of a four-story brick building using exterior acrylic paint and Montana spray paint for PangeaSeed Foundation’s groundbreaking public art program, Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans. “It is a call to action designed around the way plastic waste harms communities and sea life across Boston and New England,” says YS. “Pandora references the Greek myth of the box opened to reveal all the evil in the world, paralleling the expediency of plastic’s detrimental effect on the air, water, and intersectionally disadvantaged communities. To help, people can become more conscientious about the impact of plastics on the environment, donate to environmental groups, pick up trash, choose sustainable products, try to reduce their carbon footprint by recycling and using public transport, and make efforts not to consume less endangered sea life and more invasive species. Stay passionate and aware!”
