“San
Pedro Tsunami: the Wave of Awareness” is
an upcycled water bottle sculpture installation on a 90’ long chain link fence
near the Senior Court on the campus of San Pedro Senior High School. The ongoing environmental art project was
conceived and built by San Pedro High students with help from Beth Elliott, a
sculptor from Angels Gate Cultural Center and funds from Angels Gate. The students are weaving water bottles into
the cells of the chain link fence as the chemicals from disintegrating plastic
in the ocean are woven into the cells of the sea life and then into our own
cells. It reminds us that we must use
less plastic as well as recycle what we do use.
The public can see the spectacular water bottle wave in person by signing in at the front gate; San Pedro Senior
High School 1001 W. 15th St. San Pedro, CA 90731. You can also follow its progress and see
photos on theFacebook group “San Pedro
