My photography series, "Sigh Of The Sea," captures the haunting reality of sea pollution in Malaysia through the artistic lens of long-exposure photography. As a photographer deeply concerned about environmental issues, I was inspired to use my art as a medium to raise awareness about the urgent need to address sea pollution, both locally in Malaysia and globally.

Sea pollution is a pressing issue that affects our oceans and marine life on a massive scale. According to global statistics, over 8 million metric tons of plastic waste enter the oceans every year, causing irreversible damage to marine ecosystems, endangering marine species, and disrupting the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. Malaysia, with emissions of 0.073 million metric tons per year, ranked third in the top 10 most polluting countries based on annual plastic emissions of rivers into oceans. The situation is dire, with coastal areas and beaches often plagued by heaps of waste, including plastic bottles, fishing nets, and other debris that pollute the pristine beauty of the sea.

Through my series "Sigh Of The Sea," I sought to shed light on this environmental crisis by using long-exposure photography to transform the debris found along the Malaysian coastlines into captivating and thought-provoking works of art. By employing long exposure techniques, I was able to create striking images that highlight the stark contrast between the beautiful aesthetics of the long exposure effect and the ugly reality of the waste that plagues our seas.

My goal with this series is to capture the attention of the public and raise awareness about the severity of sea pollution. By presenting the issue in a visually appealing yet poignant manner, I aim to evoke an emotional response from viewers and encourage them to reflect on their relationship with the environment and their responsibility in addressing this crisis.

Through "Sigh Of The Sea," I hope to ignite conversations and inspire action towards reducing plastic waste, promoting sustainable practices, and advocating for policies that protect our oceans and marine life. I believe that art has the power to move hearts and minds, and I aspire to use my photography to be a a catalyst for change, urging society to take urgent action to combat sea pollution before it's too late.

Join me in this journey to protect our seas, and let us come together to restore the beauty of our oceans and safeguard them for future generations.
