Fading Blue

A youth collective using art to visualize the hidden science and uncomfortable realities of ocean pollution.

Our Mission

Fading Blue is a youth art collective that transforms ocean pollution science into visual storytelling. Drawing on scientific knowledge about plastic pollution and marine ecosystem damage, our works translate complex environmental issues into accessible images.


Through artworks ranging from vivid seascapes to depictions of marine pollution and waste, we reveal the contrast between the ocean’s beauty and the threats it faces today.

What We Do

We create science-informed artworks that visualize the hidden realities of ocean pollution and marine environmental change. Through exhibitions, workshops, and collaborations, we use art to make complex environmental issues visible and understandable.
