Atlantis Cityscape Made From Old Plastic Bottles

Artist Gayle Chong Kwan created this fantasy cityscape of the lost city of Atlantis using old plastic bottles and food packagings:

Plato in 360 BC described a city named Atlantis, whose beauty was beyond any comparison. Mythologized for its abundance of striking temples and stunning vegetation, the city was supposed to be buried under the sea following a catastrophic earthquake. An artist named Gayle Chong Kwan has now brought back the city in old plastic bottles.

I really like the look of the city from this vantage point. Some of the bottles look like milk jugs; pretty odd ones at that. Not like what we have in the U.S.

Is the artist a Grade 2 student? If so, she should be held back until she can actually make something a little better. Maybe a nice diorama.

Otherwise, this is crap.

hah hah, ted beat me to it again.

While I've no doubt that somebody can come up with something creative from plastic rubbish, this isn't it.

I think choosing Atlantis instead of a real city for which there is archeological evidence (which she would need to match) merely gave her a very escape route -- she didn't have to make it very realistic since no one can argue what Atlantis really looked like. Compare that with needing to duplicate the Pantheon, Circus Maximus, and Flavian Ampitheatre in Ancient Rome.
