Artists are not only creating amazing works to showcase their talents. Many of them are using their gifts for a noble cause. They are seeing their abilities as an opportunity to help others or raise awareness about major crisis our world is facing and carry out their advocacy.
In hope to bring light into the understanding of water crisis and its importance to human life, Canadian artist Serge Belo applied his skills in creating a breathtakingly awesome masterpiece.
Serge started to meticulously drop varying degrees of vegetable dye into biodegradable cups.
These cups are then filled with rainwater to achieve the variety of colors desired.
Along with more than 100 volunteers, Serge carefully lined up the cups.
Others were kneeling on skateboards to easily move around the work.
There were cautious enough to place each cup in the right order so as not to destroy the whole piece.
The work is almost complete.
And after hours of painstakingly arranging those coffee cups, the result is all worth the effort.
Watch the video below to see how it was amazingly done:
The project took 66,000 compostable and biodegradable cups, 15,000 liters of colored rainwater, 1 kg of vegetable dye, more than 100 volunteers, 62 hours of work. Placed end to end, the 66,000 cups would measure 5.2 km long making it the largest water mosaic in the world.
The mosaic was commissioned by charity One Drop, which works to raise awareness of the importance of clean, sanitary water. The image, which was unveiled at the end, serves to emphasize how important clean and drinkable water is for life.
Please share this to others and let them know the significance of pure and drinkable water.
