Appreciation towards Penda for providing the following description:
The cola-bow is a public art installation made out of more than 17.000 recycled plastic
bottles, which were braided to create a shape inspired by the swings of the Coca-Cola
logo.
more than 17.000 bottles were collected by a joint initiative of universities around
Beijing and Coca-Cola China to give citizencs a bottle of Coke for every 10 empty ones
brought back to a recycling spot. The amount of collected plastic bottles ended up in an
entrance conopy to the 2nd universal university creation expo.
The installation should also serve as a statement against plastic pollution by taking
trash and turning it into a shelter. A lot of things which are most convient to us are made
out of plastic. A too small percentage of this plastic waste end up in recycling bins.To
make matters worse, plastic is persistent in the environment where it can remain up to
450 years. Surrounded by increased pollution every, the sculputure can also be seen
as a reminder for creating awareness to recycle plastic waste.
