If you visit Istanbul Airport recently, you can hardly miss 20 special portraits, which are made of waste materials to arouse people's attention about environmental protection.

Deniz Sagdic, a Turkish artist, has recently transformed a wide range of waste materials collected at Istanbul Airport into artworks. The materials include various plastic containers and bags, numerous buttons of all colors, paper pieces, cables, and batteries abandoned by people at the airport.

The 20 portraits are with characteristics of various nationalities.
