13 Giant Sculptures Made Entirely Of Beach Waste To Make You Reconsider Plastic Use
Let these amazing yet disturbing sculptures serve us as a reminder of society’s overuse of plastics. All of them were created using plastic materials found in sea or on shore, discarded plastics which we call beach waste.
Big bravo to Washed Ashore, an Oregon-based organization, which created most of the listed sculptures and to Xandi Kreuzeder for making “Tiger Shark” and “Roxy Mermaid”. However, this is not a thank-you post, it is more of a what-have-we-done post.

Share on FacebookVery creative, amazing that someone can take something so negative and make something so positive from it. God bless the artist(s) and all the helpers who gathered, sorted, and cleaned the trash to make it into art.
I actually remember going to see this in Seattle (or some form of making animals out of plastic and garbage). It was breathtaking
These look really good. Lots of creativity in the animals and lots of garbage to go along with it!
I love the art, creativity as well as recycling plastic to make people aware. I have tried to quit using plastic after seeing Plastic Paradise on the waste and problems with plastics.
I live on my boat near the shore and I see a lot of plastic trash...pick up what I can. It's fantastic to see what an artist can do with this stuff...beautiful...don't stop.
Beautiful, but wow that's a lot of garbage people leave on beaches!!!!!!!
Stunning, but isn't it a shame that there are so many people who thoughtlessly throw rubbish away? Thank goodness for the artists in the world helping to make it a nicer place to live.
Although the sculptures are all beautiful, it saddens me that they represent detritus picked from the beach.
Not really awesome or cool, because all this c**p was on beaches and oceans ... sad that there is this much waste
Obviously that guy realized that and turned that c**p into something beautiful that also promotes awareness about the beach waste, so this project is very cool.
