Indian artist Srinivas Padakandl makes sculptures from disused car scraps and electronic components.
Indian artist Srinivas Padakandl creates majestic sculptures from the scraps of old cars and electronic devices.
The goal of this project is to raise environmental awareness by encouraging people to properly sort and recycle scrap metal instead of disposing of it in landfills. In fact, these waste deposits risk becoming places destined to pollute the earth.

The artist organizes several workshops to teach how to give a new life to metal components, so as to transform them into incredible sculptures. Her works are exhibited in parks and public places, precisely with the aim of sensitizing viewers on environmental issues and on how beauty can arise from what many consider garbage.
Srinivas told Reuters:
My motive is to educate emerging people and artists through my works of art. Not only do I want to inform people about the scrapping of old cars, but also provide ideas on how to use them instead of throwing the parts in landfills.
Filling landfills with metal waste causes various damages such as poisoning the soil and producing CO2. Using waste to produce works of art decreases pollution and creates beauty and awe.
