Sarah’s stunning piece is formed with 562 reused bottle ends, each one hand cut and attached to each other gradually building into a spherical shape. Each bottle end holds a LED inside, which also connects to Twitter. When certain words were tweeted, such as “recycling” and “ocean”, the Twitter Ball flashes in different colors.
