This art installation was shown during a modern art exhibition. This giant whale, that is ready to be washed ashore, was placed in the main canal in Brugge. It consists of 5 tons of sea plastic that was collected on the shore in just 4 months. It has plastic containers, bottles, and even chairs and buckets.

The Skyscraper is supposed to draw the public’s attention to the problem of the dirty ocean and the fact that the amount of plastic may soon surpass the number of sea creatures. According to scientists, there are 150 million tons of plastic trash in the ocean right now, and about 8 million tons are added every year. The creators of this sculpture hope that their whale (which serves to show the scope of the problem) will make humanity think about how they are using plastic in the modern world.
