这个可乐装置利用17.000个回收可乐瓶子灵动的编织出一个像是可口可乐标志那样动感的造型。这些瓶子均从北京周边的大学与可口可乐公司回收点收集而来。作品旁安装了一份关于污染，垃圾和我们已被他们包围的声明，旨在提高人们的回收塑料的环保意识。塑料是一种能在环境中存在450年的垃圾，地球已被塑料包围。

The cola-bow is a public art installation made out of more than 17.000 recycled plastic bottles, which were braided to create a shape inspired by the swings of the Coca-Cola logo.

more than 17.000 bottles were collected by a joint initiative of universities around Beijing and Coca-Cola China to give citizencs a bottle of Coke for every 10 empty ones brought back to a recycling spot. The amount of collected plastic bottles ended up in an entrance conopy to the 2nd universal university creation expo.

The installation should also serve as a statement against plastic pollution by taking trash and turning it into a shelter. A lot of things which are most convient to us are made out of plastic. A too small percentage of this plastic waste end up in recycling bins.To make matters worse, plastic is persistent in the environment where it can remain up to 450 years. Surrounded by increased pollution every, the sculputure can also be seen as a reminder for creating awareness to recycle plastic waste.
