2. Bottlecap Rainbow
This piece is from the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art’s show Material Afterlife. The artist collected dozens of plastic bottlecaps and arranged them by color as a statement about waste. Did you know that recycling facilities can’t accept plastic bottles with the caps on for recycling? Maybe you could make your own rainbow instead!
