This a series of designs for marine-inspired light installations, which recycle objects and materials abandoned by children and tourists in the hotels and on the beaches of the coastal towns of La Oliva and whose assembly involves its community.
La Oliva is a municipality in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands whose tourist strategy based so far on standard formulas is recently aiming to stand out internationally through new attractors. In this sense, the reference is the neighboring island, Lanzarote, which, thanks to Cesar Manrique's art and architecture works, has established itself as a fascinating tourist destination. In this context, the Town Hall of La Oliva pursued the following objectives:
_A Christmas lighting adapted to the culture of La Oliva and its coastal towns, traditionally linked to the sea and fishing
_Awareness about the pollution of the sea and its visibility
_Energy-efficient lighting
_New environments for Christmas lighting, such as the sea
_ An illumination whose design can provide greater international visibility of La Oliva as a tourist destination during the Christmas season because the viability of many shops in these coastal towns is supported by the Christmas sales.
Our designs recycle objects and material abandoned by children and tourists in the hotels and beaches of La Oliva: floats, surfboards, beach toys, etc. For energy and resources savings, we've made them with LED lights and small solar panels, with simple DIY materials and paint.
Two of our various designs were built in this first edition: The giant squid and the jellyfish garlands. Asemmbling these recycled and DYI installations involves collecting abandoned materials throughout the year and needs the cooperation of neighbors and children, so, for the first edition of this initiative, there have been limitations. However, the designs can be used in the next editions and in other parts of the world to promote recycling, creativity, a sense of community and the collective participation of children in the making of their own Christmas.
