If you happen to walk along the street in the City of Van in eastern Turkey, you will be impressed by the artworks on the walls.

The vivid illustrations of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”, Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” and Salvador Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory” are all made from thousands of plastic bottle caps, creating perfect replicas of the famous paintings.

The artwork is part of the recent “Recycled Street” project where recycled materials such as plastic caps, rubber, and waste metal are used to create street art to promote environmental awareness.
