From Trash to Treasure: Art Meets Eco-Activism
Budapest-based artist Gabor Barath is giving old car tires a second life—as striking sculptures! 🖌️ His latest project tackles Europe’s 'tired' pollution problems, transforming discarded rubber into thought-provoking installations. 🌍
Why Tires?
\"People forget these aren’t just waste—they’re environmental time bombs,\" Barath told us. With Hungary recycling only 60% of its tires annually, thousands still litter forests and fields. 🚨 Recycling expert Gabor File confirms: \"For decades, tires were dumped anywhere—it’s a legacy we’re still fighting.\"
Art That Drives Change
Barath’s twisted tire dragons and abstract designs aren’t just eye candy. They’re sparking conversations about sustainable solutions. 💡 \"If my sculptures make one person rethink recycling, that’s a win,\" he says. Could this be the blueprint for turning global waste into wonder? 🌱
