For my second Self-Designed assignment, I did a painting to represent my concluding thoughts on the PFOA contaminations in Hoosick Falls, New York.

Here you can see PFOA being poured into a fishtank with has killed the fish. I also included key words and phrases from the Times Union article about Hoosick Falls.
