Shark Fin Soup
What
An interaction design that visually links the connection between a feast(shark fin soup) in a restaurant and the slaughter in the ocean.
Why
To raise awareness about the threats faced by sharks. Aimed to create a straightforward visual connection to link the two incidents.
How
when you open your mouth to eat the shark fin soup, the sharks in the ocean will lose their fins at the same time. If you cover your mouth and choose not to eat, the slaughter could be reversed.
