Alicja Kwade is not your traditional artist. The talented and unconventional installation artist turns ordinary objects into stunning masterpieces.
In one of her most recent projects, Alicja Kwade takes 1,000 champagne bottles and pulverizes them until they are almost specs of dust. She then takes the remaining debris and crafts it into colorful mountains. Her one-of-a-kind mountain definitely took a lot of spent booze bottles to complete.
Implications - The eco-movement has progressed from being at the fringes to influencing a large part of the current zeitgeist. Consumers with green ethical standards value waste reduction and efficient planning. Companies can form deeper relationship with this large demographic by championing their endeavours to reduce their own carbon footprint and implement green strategies.
