We have always been taught to make the best out of waste in our art and craft classes. We made baskets with ice cream sticks, wall hangings with disposable glasses and a lot of other things too. But did it ever occur to you that the whole point behind making stuff out of waste is to clear the waste?
Alejandro Duran, a New York artist, decided to make something out of beach waste. Trash at beaches is a huge problem being faced by a lot of countries and it requires proper waste management. Huge amount of waste gets collected near the Mexico’s Caribbean coastline in Sian Ka’an. Alejandro created a set of artwork by collecting trash from around 50 nations and 6 continents around the world. The way he has captures each arrangement is beautiful too.
