Litter Art

The term litter art describes a creative practice focused on transforming discarded waste and recycled materials into sculptural forms. Artists working in this medium use everything from household trash to plastics pulled directly from waterways to create objects that challenge how we view our consumption habits. These works serve as visual markers of environmental impact, forcing a confrontation between the beauty of the final sculpture and the reality of the polluting materials used to build it. By turning potential landfill waste into intended art, the medium highlights the hidden potential of everyday objects we typically discard without a second thought.
