TED Talk at We The Future Event
Watch Alejandro at TED’s We The Future Event in partnership with the UN Foundation and the Skoll Foundation. He uses art to spotlight the ongoing destruction of our oceans' ecosystems. In this breathtaking talk, he shows how he meticulously organizes and reuses plastic waste from around the world that washes up on Mexico’s Caribbean coast -- everything from water bottles to prosthetic legs -- to create vivid, environmental artworks that may leave you mesmerized and shocked.
