On July 29, 2022, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their seventh in a series of public art works entitled Plastic Poetry. Plastic Poetry is a series of community activations that blends recycling plastics, plastic pollution, beach cleanups, public art, and poetry.
The text was written by Elijah Clark, a fifth grade student from Theodore R. and Thelma A. Gibson Charter School as part of O, Miami’s Sunroom Program in 2022. The five-inch letters are rendered in 2.60 lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from various beach cleanups held throughout Miami-Dade County in 2021 and 2022.
