Concept

Being an island, the blue waters surrounding Sri Lanka’s landscape further enrich her unique beauty. However, the negative attitudes and lack of initiative towards maintaining a healthy and clean environment, has resulted in increased pollution in our beaches. At the beach near my home, beauty and ugliness co-exist or are forced to do so - beauty of nature and ugliness of the produce of human activities.
