In September 2023, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their tenth in a series of public art works entitled Plastic Poetry. Plastic Poetry is a series of community activations that mashes up an educational workshop on the realities of recycling and plastic pollution with community/beach cleanups, public art, and poetry.
The text was written by Crystal Rose Nieves, a student from St. Mary’s Cathedral School commissioned by O, Miami. The five-inch letters are rendered in 2.93 lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from various beach cleanups held throughout Miami-Dade County in 2023.
