Dirty Art


Artwork to the rescue
The Philippines have repeatedly suffered from terrible water pollution- but they have turned this tragedy into a solution. Artists in the Philippines have started using their own contaminated water to create incredible paintings. They are selling these pieces to raise awareness of their environmental hazards. Each painting sales for $800-$2000 and all of the proceeds go towards a water purification system for the Philippines as well as an initiative to prevent further water contamination in other areas of the world.
They have taken something so destructive and created a beautiful solution.
