AND... This Is How Art Saves The World

DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR PLASTICS!!,


 Japanese artist Sayaka Ganz has been making some pretty amazing sculptures with recycled thrift store plastics (while you've been throwing them away). Her influence came from early childhood Japanese Shinto teachings which she believes in.  "Japanese Shinto beliefs are such that all objects and organisms have spirits, and I was taught in kindergarten that objects that are discarded before their time weep at night inside the trash bin. This became a vivid image in my mind. The constant need to adjust to a new environment also gave me a strong desire to fit in and to create harmony around me." 

Here are some of her fantastic sculptures;
