ISRAEL-ENVIRONMENT-ART-POLLUTION

Israeli artist Beverly Barkat poses next to her artwork made of recycled plastic waste representing planet Earth as a jewel, aiming to raise awareness about pollution, at the Gottesman Family Israel Aquarium in Jerusalem, on February 6, 2022. - The exhibition entitled Earth Poetica centers around a huge sphere built from wrought iron, with 180 panels that shine and sparkle in the light, a perfect depiction of a precious jewel-encrusted world. And yet, when looking within the sphere, the jeweled colors turn out to represent discarded plastic waste that ends up drifting with the waves of our oceans and seas. - RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY MENTION OF THE ARTIST UPON PUBLICATION - TO ILLUSTRATE THE EVENT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAPTION (Photo by MENAHEM KAHANA / AFP) / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY MENTION OF THE ARTIST UPON PUBLICATION - TO ILLUSTRATE THE EVENT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAPTION / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY MENTION OF THE ARTIST UPON PUBLICATION - TO ILLUSTRATE THE EVENT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAPTION (Photo by MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP via Getty Images)
