Eco Factor: Giant turtle shell made from industrial trash cans.

Art is by far the best way to express ones emotions. So, what better way to show your concern for “Mother Nature”. Brian Jungen, one of Canada’s most promising young artists has created something extraordinary with trash bins. The creation called “Carapace” is a dome-shaped structure made out of green-plastic industrial trash cans.

The amazing artwork reflecting the artist’s long-standing interest in geodesic architecture and the environment suggests a giant turtle shell. With this creation, the trash-obsessed artist sends across the message of three “R”s of recycling – recycle, reinvent, reuse. Brian Jungen has already received the 2010 Gershon Iskowitz Prize for his outstanding contribution to visual arts in Canada.
