What is this painting made of???

They are 106.ooo cans, which we throw in the garbage bin by the millions.

What is this?

65.000 cigarets, the average number used by American underaged smokers

What could this be?

200.000 packs of cigarets, equaling the number of Americans who die of smoking every 6 months.

And this?

Every 15 min. 170.000 batteries are made.

Nobody has been able to guess what this work of art is made of. Can you?

1 million plastic cups, that are being used in aircraft every six hours

What could this be?

60.000 plastic bags, thrown out every 5 minutes.

and this?

2 million plastic bottles, thrown out every 5 minutes worldwide!

This one is very difficult me thinks....

426.000 mobiles, for destruction every day!

Thats Art made from garbage.
