If there is any everyday item which many people both love and hate, it has to be the plastic water bottle. While it does a great job of containing water for us to drink, disposing of it afterwards can be a problem. It’s not uncommon to see hundreds of bottles littering the ground after any social gathering or event, instead of being put in recycling bins.

Contemporary artist Azliza Ayob, however, is doing something different with used water bottles. She converts them into eye-catching works of art.
