Notice.

These sculptures (also exhibited in the same square) are made from fished-up old fishing nets that were dumped into the sea. So not so pretty. This was there to point this out to us.
It's too bad that the nets were dumped into the sea, but I'm glad they could be made into sculptures that help point out the problem. I really like the brick work on the building behind them, too.

I like the vibrant blue against the beige brick of the background. It's a good example of repurposed materials and reminds me a lot of the floats in the Rose Bowl Parade that perhaps have lost some of the blooms. It's a shame there are that many nets in the sea that it's a problem.

That's a lot of dumped/lost nets. They can't be cheap things to lose?? Thank you for sharing this it's a lovely photo

At least we cannot miss them :-) I like the idea of repurposing something left to pollute the ocean.

Good to see the dumped nets have been turned into artwork. Maybe the message will get across to people who dump them in the first place.

Such a well-utilized work of art to make a stand against hurting the environment! People all talk about climate change, but this is often overlooked!

This is great, I hope people learn from it!

This is art that at least makes sense. I like it.
I also like the architecture behind :D That balcony is superb!

A sad truth, beautifully illustrated with the sculptures.

Very interesting and very artistic too. I like the message which year after year raises the issue.

Heel bijzonder

There's no missing those sculptures! An important message for an issue that needs to be addressed. We find so many ways to pollute our planet and ourselves. Reminds me of a slogan I saw on a wall in the 1970's "people are uneatable, they contain too much DDT"

Good to see that a positive use has been made of these dumped nets. They make interesting sculptures!

They really stand out against the colour of the buildings.

The sculptures are really powerful! As others have said, I hope they can effect some change. Fav

There doesn't really seem to be any good excuse to let something like those slip into the sea. Good shot.

Goede boodschap, knap dat ze van alle ‘rommel’ iets moois kunnen maken….zoals de walvis van plastic die in Utrecht heeft gestaan.
