Bayt Lothan -where it was constructed- was transformed into an urban garden/backyard "littered" with re-cycled products and things that would be classified as trash/landfill materials but ironically were made into "masterpieces.."
Chairs made out of Pepsi Bottle Holders, tables made of old signs, egg cartons exquisitely turned into modern light appliances, and best of all a whole background/wall made of pepsi bottles, tide cartons and coloured bottles stacked over each other (which were set as a background for a cute alternative living room in the middle of the exhibit).
Wandering around the exhibit and seeing all those beautiful things made out of junk made me wonder how much potential landfills/trash bins, and junk yards had..
Egg-Holder Lighting
A kind of canopy-chair made out of recycled wood, i think..
A table made of a "Ladies Toilet" sign
A stool-ish pillow made out of an old Coca-Cola Ad
The mini sitting area with the mixed bottles and cans background..
A magazine holder/basket made out of magazines..
An art piece made out of cans..
The Exhibit's sign made out of flattened Tin Cans..
Best of all everything was for sale and miraculously coming from such a consumer society, you'd think this idea wouldn't fly; but people had no problem buying out all the products, for nothing was left and everything had sold out..
If I hadn't driven there myself, I could have sworn I was in another country; I never thought I'd see such an amazing exhibit in Kuwait.
Someone else's junk is another man's treasure; who thought such beautiful and creative things could be made out of other people's refuse..
Hats off to everyone who was involved, organized or sponsored this exhibit,

Note: If you haven't checked out AC by Ali Chabaan at the Exhibit, make sure you do so, tomorrow's the last day (Wednesday), and his work is promising; I like to call it "Graphic Design with Spunk." Its located on the "Strip" next to Burger Hub and Slider Station.
For more information, here's a contact number +(965) 9-793-7853.
