The Pelican at Miami High

Miami State High School
2024

An environmental project and installation of a striking Pelican sculpture made by Gold Coast artist Mike Van Dam. Inspired by a commitment to addressing plastic bottle waste, Van Dam meticulously shaped the steel frame to capture a Pelican in quiet vigilance, its open beak ready to catch recycled bottles.
