#PlasticPlanet in all its glory! 🌏💜

When reflecting on this collaborative experience with the #LabeaudLab at @stanford.med, artist @jean.shin says shes "so grateful to be embraced by the @Stanford community in creating this sculpture together and bringing awareness to the plastic pollution crisis."

Plastic Planet's sister sculpture, Sea Change (2023) was also revealed in Kenya—presented by @heri__kenya in partnership with Diani Municipality, @Stanford, and the @tum_mombasa. Made of more than 7,000 single-use plastic water bottles, Sea Change forms a massive wave to bring awareness to the plastic pollution crisis.

@cantorarts Director @veronicaroberts writes, "as my colleague @dmcullinan, Vice President for the Arts at Stanford often says, the most pressing problems of our times cannot be solved by science and technology alone. Artists and art like this are essential in shifting attitudes and culture."

Come visit the newly installed Plastic Planet sculpture at the Biomedical Innovation Building!

“Installation is an immersive experience—surrounded by #PlasticPollution and finding ourselves inside #PlasticPlanet. #DisposablePlastic and #MedicalWaste need a revolution!”—Artist + Creator @jean.shin ↑

This celebration is open to the public, so please join us. To learn more about Plastic Planet as a whole, head to our Instagram highlight.
