Tidal Shift by Stephanie Cartledge

A street art mural by artist Stephanie Cartledge in a graphic style, featuring squid and octopus in greens and blues

Tidal Shift by Stephanie Cartledge pays homage to the marine life of Hobsons Bay and the detrimental effects of plastic pollution.

Positioned just 300 metres from the bay, the mural is ideally located to address these pressing issues. Tidal Shift serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for ocean sustainability, highlighting the entanglement of marine species as one of the most visible consequences of plastic waste.

Stephanie Cartledge, a Melbourne-based artist and muralist, derives inspiration for her stylised works in the distinct beauty of local flora and fauna. Collaborating with organisations like Art Aid and BirdLife Australia, Stephanie's work extends beyond aesthetics, fostering reflection and dialogue on environmental issues.
