Made from a series of [recyclable materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlanta-airport-chairs), Head in the Clouds uses bottles to create [artificial clouds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass-2025-pendants). Created by StudioKCA, the project is the main focus for this year's [City of Dreams Pavilion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-pavilion) that will run for a short period in June.

Head in the Clouds makes a splash with regard to sheer magnitude because it is as big as the actual things, yet made with plastic bottles to place a focus onto the state of the environment and the economy. Using various colors of plastic bottles gives the enclosure a lovely ambience that encourages patrons to come inside and experience. Now, if only we always used waste to create such beauty; we'd likely see a decrease in the percentage of landfill waste.
