Artist Belo used as many as 66,000 plastic cups to make the artwork, which he filled with colored rainwater. He wanted to show that in many places around the world, water is contaminated and the situation is getting more complicated year after year.
This major work of 3,600 square feet, representing a fetus in the maternal womb, emphasizes the necessity of water, even before birth, for each living person.
In addition to 66,000 compostable and biodegradable cups, Serge Belo used 15,000 liters of colored rainwater and a kilogram of food dye. He was assisted by more than 100 volunteers, and together they spent 62 hours on the final artwork. Putting the cups in a row it would be 5.2 kilometers long!
