These are images of Algae Blooms in Lakes and the cyanobacteria that is the byproduct of the Algae. It is developing due to pollution and translating that information into hand blown glass bowls and roundels would convey a message of awareness. While these images of the water and the bloom are quite beautiful we are also reminded of the paradox that something beautiful can be quite harmful and destructive. My hope for Erie, as it's greatest asset is our water, is that we work together, locally and internationally to care for our home on Earth.

Changes in the timing and method of applying agricultural fertilizer are the primary drivers behind the increasing amounts of phosphorus entering Lake Erie and causing toxic algal blooms and a large dead zone, according to new basin-wide scientific studies. The studies, drawing on institutions from across the Great Lakes, also found that climate change is increasing the urgency of developing ways to keep fertilizers on fields, and may mean that larger reductions in phosphorus will be necessary to alleviate Great Lakes algal blooms.
