On October 27, 2021, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their fourth 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 is an excerpt from a poem written by a Lotus House Guest in August 2021 as part of an O, Miami-led workshop series on gratitude and the ode form. The five-inch letters are rendered in 4.46lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from two beach cleanups held at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on April 22, 2021 and at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center on June 26, 2021, as well as a collection of community plastics including hundreds of black post-consumer restaurant to-go containers, ramekins, straws, forks, spoons, and knives.
