Based in the Czech Republic she uses a heat gun to twist, turn and cut up the bottles and give them natural forms, so these old drinks bottles suddenly become flowers!

The artist made these to show people the problem with PET bottles and how they almost never degrade. This means they really are best collected and recycled.

Some of the sculptures are made from hundreds of bottles, but looking at them it would be hard to work out exactly how many each one contains.

While the PET lobster is amazing, it is when they are placed in scenes that are natural to what they are that really makes her work stand out.

I think this is her work of art that has used the most recycled bottles. Making these is a much better idea than simply throwing them into the recycling bin.

1 – Cactaceae Desert – www.veronikarichterova.com/en/my-works/pet-art-sculptures
By taking the Cactaceae we first saw in number 10 and planting them in a desert style environment suddenly they seem to come alive and almost…natural!
