These Sculptures Are Both Beautiful And Appalling, And Deliver An Important Message.

These Sculptures Are Both Beautiful And Appalling, And Deliver An Important Message. October 18, 2017

Thousands of plastic bottles, bags, toys and debris end up in our oceans: marine life such as seals, whales, and turtles among other animals mistake the waste as food or get caught in it. [Washed Ashore][1], a non-for-profit organization has collected tons of trash and turned it into art. Angela Haseltine Pozzi is the artist leading the project: sculptures made up entirely of garbage come to life as a penguin, coral reef, and shark. When one sees the large structures, it is hard to ignore the damage being done to our oceans, something that is completely preventable. The Oregon-based group hopes people will get involved in saving our waters and in turn sea life. [1]: http://washedashore.org/
