Unique exhibition showcasing recycled plastic opens in Hanoi
VOV.VN - Hanoi Book Street is currently hosting an exhibition known as “Be the change” which features a number of displays of items made from plastic waste.
 |
| Following a year long hiatus, the Davines Art Series has returned for this year in a much larger scale and has so far attracted plenty of visitors. |
 |
| A puppetry character by artist Do Hiep made out of an array of colourful straws. |
 |
| The straws have been collected from coffee shops throughout Hanoi. |
 |
| At first, the character was 1.9 metres in height, but due to being exhibited at the unique event, the artist increased the height to 3.5 metres. |
 |
| A bespoke piece created by artist Pham Tran Quan depicts a person who is tired of plastic pollution. |
 |
| The artwork has been created by filling the outline of a person with plastic waste such as straws, nylon bags, and plastic bottles. |
 |
| A floral arrangement by artists Flinh and Dang Thuy Anh sends a message to viewers of the need to live green and protect the earth. |
 |
| Each plant contains a message on environmental protection. |
 |
| The pots which contain the trees have been collected from beauty salons and had previously been used to contain hair. |
 |
 |
 |
| A large number of young people have been attending the exhibition since its opening. |
 |
 |
| Foreign visitors also show a keen interest in the captivating artworks on show. |
 |
 |
| The event is scheduled to last until November 17. |
