‘Thrown to the Wind’ is one of the latest installations by Beijing-based artist Wang Zhiyuan who visualises a whirlwind of trash, ascending into the air which would look something like the art installation. Zhiyuan’s larger-than-life tornado of plastic waste, which stands 36-feet high, represents the heaps of trash that overwhelm his home town and its surrounding environment. The gigantic trash tower really puts the overbearing toll of the waste problem into perspective. It seems cool and colourful at first, but Zhiyuan has an underlying message to evoke a discussion by garnering attention to the problem.
