Mineral water bottles are common in our lives. They are important for daily use, but people often throw them away. This creates a problem for the environment. However, in this challenge, we aim to transform these seemingly unremarkable objects into stunning works of art. This time, our challenge is to promote environmental protection, using mineral water bottles to piece together a 200-meter long dragon! This project is not only an artistic creation, but also an environmental action.
In this way, we hope to raise awareness of plastic recycling and reuse, while also showing how even the most ordinary materials can be transformed into incredible works of art through creativity and effort.” Follow me into the birth of the dragon, and you will witness the birth of a miracle. From the initial design sketch, to the collection and cleaning of each mineral water bottle, to the final assembly and decoration, every step is the ultimate pursuit of detail.
This plastic Chinese loong is not only a giant installation art, it is also an environmental symbol, a signal to remind people to pay attention to environmental issues.

Artisans with unparalleled care and exquisite skills, these mineral water bottles piece by piece together to create the scale of the dragon. Each piece of plastic bottle is carefully cut and polished to ensure that they fit together perfectly to form the dragon’s coat. This meticulous work requires not only patience, but also a deep understanding of aesthetics to ensure that the final result is both natural and shocking.
In the design, we cleverly made use of the silk commonly used in lanterns, a material known for its softness and luster, which contrasts with the hard and transparent feel of mineral water bottles, adding a sense of layers and dimensions to the dragon. The soft luster of the silk and the transparent color of the mineral water bottle combine to make the dragon seem to have the breath of life under the irradiation of the light, colorful and shining.
In the mouth of the dragon, we installed a large smoke device, which not only adds to the mystery of the dragon, but also adds a dynamic visual effect. Surrounded by smoke, the dragon seems to breathe, adding a touch of vividness to this static art installation.





The Chinese dragon’s head is reaches an astonishing 13 meters. Therefore the watering and construction of the concrete foundation is essential.
