Plastic from Kauai”™s beaches is going to Belgium where it will become part of a 30-foot tall blue whale sculpture.
It”™s all part of Brooklyn-based Studio KCA”™s project to create larger than life reminders of human impacts to the environment, and most of the materials for the sculpture are coming from Kauai.
“A lot of our plastic waste is collecting in Hawaii “” the northern part of Kauai and the southern part of Hawaii Island,” said Jason Klimoski, co-owner of Studio KCA.
Klimoski and his partner Lesley Chang are also gathering plastic from the United States”™ west coast and east coast for the project.
Klimoski and Chang are architects and artists who got their start in gigantic sculptures with eco-friendly messages in 2013 with a sculpture on Governor”™s Island, New York. Read more.
