The Hand of Paradise is one of Tafaria's most recognisable environmental art installations. Created by Kelvin Oduor, the giant hand uses plastic bottles to make a simple point visible from a distance: the materials people throw away can become part of a new story.

Waste becomes the material

Because the work is built from plastic bottles, the environmental message is part of the sculpture itself rather than an explanation added afterwards. It connects waste management and recycling with the creative possibility of looking at a familiar material differently.

From installation to B-Brush & Friends

The Hand of Paradise also appears in the B-Brush & Friends world, where it becomes a character in a story about keeping the environment clean. That connection allows a child to encounter the same idea twice: first as an imaginative story and again as a real artwork at Tafaria.

A useful stop for conversation

For families and school groups, the installation creates an easy starting point for questions about plastic, responsibility and what it means to use creativity in environmental care.
