Turn plastic waste into works of art

Artist and environmental activist, Maria Nissan, is working on a project to raise public awareness of environmental disasters through art.

An Iraqi living in Amman, Jordan, Ms. Nissan decided to collect and reuse plastic waste to create works of art – like paintings of women’s faces, flowers and oriental motifs.

She has turned the rooftop of her residence into a display of works of art. All are made from disposable items, from razors and toothbrushes to lighters, pens and plastic spoons.

According to Ms. Nissan, the art of making plastic waste is an easy and powerful way to convey a message to many people, so that they understand how harmful plastic waste is to the environment.
