Transforming Ocean Plastic into Art as a Way to Cleaner Seas

Imagine beautiful trees rising above the ocean as symbols of love for the planet.These trees, crafted from reclaimed plastic. Pulled from the ocean the plastic are now not only harmless but also causing good.

  • Each year, about 8 to 10 million metric tons of plastic waste enter our oceans National Geographic Society Ocean Literacy Portal

  • This plastic pollution makes up 80% of all marine pollution Ocean Literacy Portal

  • At the current rate, plastic is expected to outweigh all fish in the sea by 2050 EcoMENA

  • The project aims to take plastic polluting our oceans and turn it into stunning art installations

  • These installations will be a testament to the transformation of waste into beauty and a cleaner environment.

  • If we can make a fine art sculpture with reclaimed plastic, we can make anything out of it!

I’m thrilled to announce that The Heart of Europe, a business that truly cares for both the environment and art, will be planting this tree in their exquisite setting. I am deeply grateful to Josef Kleindienst for believing in this project!

I also know that there’s no better place for this project than Dubai. The city is a global leader in innovation and environmental stewardship, making it the ideal backdrop for a project that merges art, sustainability, and community action.
