Over the past two weekends a group of artists have been working on a public sculpture project involving trash found on the Mullet Bay Beach. Hana Barochova, an artist who has worked with children in different parts of the world creating ecosculptres, started this project sparked by one of her classroom activities using recycable materials.The motivation behind the creation of these sculptures is to send a message through art to locals and vacationers alike to do their part in keeping Sint Maarten clean. The sculptures showcase the large amount of trash found on our local beaches in general and on Mullet Bay Beach more specifically.
The sculptures will likely range from human figures to marine and wildlife and could possibly pop up over many of our beaches throughout the summer months.
The organizer of the project would also like to encourage others, especially local kids and adults, who would like to break out from their normal weekend activities and lend a creative hand in not only collecting trash but also translating the trash into an educational and functional piece of art.
The St. Maarten Nature Foundation supports this project as a novel way to both clean up local beaches but also using the collected trash to create sculptures which will educate the public on the worrying state of our local beaches. The Foundation would like to encourage residents and visitors to join in on this interresting and important activity.
