The sculp- ture will be officially debuted at the Third Annual St. Petersburg Science Festival, which takes place from Oct. 17-18. The created sculpture represents an ocean gyre, a vortex that is cre- ated by wind and collects plastic marine debris in its slow-spinning center. Debris reclaimed from the coast of Tampa Bay and other recy- cled materials were used to create the body of the gyre. Viewers are invited to walk under the raised sculpture for a surreal perspective.
