Plastic Beach Lighthouse
A single light cutting through an ocean of plastic.
Perched atop the floating island of debris called Plastic Beach, the Lighthouse cuts through the trash field to guide ships and anchor the Gorillaz during their London exile. Built entirely from recycled ocean waste, this structure drives the album's narrative visually. It marks the band's isolation while its sweeping beam shouts their existence to anyone looking out at sea.
