Entry for JennyStokes-Favs Contest "Artists creating art for a better world": Our first ContestFeatured: Contest | Results by JennyStokes-Favs
This image is part of my "artivism" project of artworks made with plastic (mostly) waste I collect on the shores of Lake Leman, Switzerland. I aim to explore the relationship between waste and nature as well as to bring awareness on waste in nature and consumption issues. I find most of the plastic on the shores of a nature reserve (Les Grangettes) protected under the RAMSAR Convention as an area of international and national importance for migratory and water birds. Every year we unfortunately have to clean the reserve from tons of waste coming from Lake Leman or the river Rhone, before the birds start to nest and before the migratory birds start over their long journey.

I applaud you.
You can make even trash beautiful! It's far better for this plastic be in your art than out there in nature!
