Entitled “Oceanic Sentinel,” the mosaic depicts a majestic sea turtle swimming amidst a vibrant underwater scene. Carter meticulously crafted the artwork using thousands of hand-cut glass tiles, creating an iridescent shimmer that evokes the ocean’s depths. “I wanted to create an immersive experience that transported viewers to the ocean floor,” said Carter. “The sea turtle is a symbol of resilience and ancient wisdom, and I hope this mosaic inspires a sense of wonder and connection to marine life.” The artwork was conceived as a symbol of environmental stewardship and the importance of protecting our oceans. Carter collaborated with marine biologists to ensure the accuracy of the sea turtle’s anatomy and habitat. “Emily’s mosaic is not only a stunning work of art but also serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of our planet,” said Susan Green, director of the Bridgeport Museum of Art. “We are thrilled to showcase this awe-inspiring masterpiece that celebrates our connection to the natural world.” “Oceanic Sentinel” will be on display at the Bridgeport Museum of Art for the next six months. The museum will offer guided tours and educational programs to enhance visitors’ appreciation of the artwork and its message. Carter hopes her mosaic will ignite a sense of wonder and inspire viewers to take action to protect marine life. “I believe that art has the power to inspire positive change,” she said. “By bringing attention to the beauty and importance of our oceans, I hope to motivate people to make a difference.”
