Graphic design student Allsopp said: “It’s a visual reminder where you put the plastic bottles in the fishes mouth to fill it up which has a literal depiction of what’s going on in the sea.”<\/p>\n
The students said the idea stemmed from a child’s drawing which was mocked up as a 3D model before the team created the design over a four-month period.<\/p>\n
They had to go back and make changes to ensure plastic bottles did not fall through the shapes in the fish.<\/p>\n
The sculpture is being sent to the UK to be galvanised – where it is dipped in zinc to avoid rust and corrosion and smoothen out the tack welds – before it returns to Guernsey.<\/p>\n
