Congratulations to the 8 WINNERS of ESF West Island School’s Hong Kong Shark Foundation 香港護鯊會 “Shark Week 2022 – Shark
Art
Competition”. Eight brilliant students – ranging from Year 7s to Year 10s – participated in this fun competition, but FIRST PLACE
went to Year 8 student Ariane Crane for her art titled “What if it were you, what would you do now?”Well done Ariane! 








Ariane wrote this messsge behind her art: ‘Through this particular art piece, I am expressing the death scene of sharks when they are left to die after being robbed of their fins. I wish to convey the importance of stopping shark finning by making the audience feel empathetic and understanding towards the situation through expressing a human left to die without one’s limbs as a metaphor. I hope that in doing this, more people will be inspired to take action to stop this problem.” 





Huge THANK YOU also to the event organisers IB Shark Ambassadors Alyssa Mallorca, Michelle Zhou, and Arahant Doss for giving students an opportunity to use their creativity and to spread awareness on HKSF’s cause. And to all the winners for utilising metaphors and rhetorics in order to communicate a thought-provoking message. What an impact! 



We hope your art will help raise awareness about the plight of sharks and help HKSF to plant more seeds of change!

恭喜ESF西島學校「鯊魚週2022-鯊魚藝術
比賽」的8位獲獎者。八名優秀的學生 – 從七年級到十年級 – 參加了這個有趣的比賽,但第一名去了八年級學生 Ariane Crane,她的藝術題為「如果是你,你現在會做什麼?」幹得好阿麗亞娜!

Ariana在她的藝術背後寫下了這樣的信息:「通過這件特別的藝術作品,我正在表達鯊魚在被奪去鰭後被遺棄的死亡場景。我希望通過表達一個人在沒有四肢的情況下死去作為隱喻,讓觀眾對這種情況感到同情和理解,從而傳達停止魚翅的重要性。我希望通過這樣做,更多的人會受到鼓舞,採取行動來阻止這個問題。」 





非常感謝活動組織者 IB Shark 大使 Alyssa Mallorca、Michelle Zhou 和 Arahant Doss 讓學生有機會發揮他們的創造力並傳播對護鯊事業的認識。並感謝所有使用隱喻和修辭來傳達發人深省的信息的獲獎者。有什麼影響! 



我們希望您的藝術作品能幫助提高人們對鯊魚困境的認識,並幫助我們播下更多變革的種子。
