Art Basel has taken over the city and some very unique pieces of art have begun to pop up in the most unexpected corners. An installation of 66 life-size sand-car sculptures can be seen in Miami Beach now and it is one of the most Instagrammable public art pieces out there. The unique sandy traffic jam opened 2 days ago, on December 3, and will slowly degrade over the week, so if you want to see it, and take some great pics around it, rush to the beach next to Lincoln Road before it's gone.

Behind it are the hands of Leandro Erlich, an internationally renowned Argentine conceptual artist. A huge sand traffic jam may sound like the most Miami thing ever, but these cars are partially "submerged" in the sand, which is intended to give a reference to rising sea levels caused by global warming.

Leandro Erlich said in a recent interview that "climate change and its consequences are no longer a matter of perspective or opinion, but an objective problem that requires immediate solutions." As an artist, he mentions being in a constant struggle to make people aware of that reality. Specifically that we all have a responsibility in this regard that we cannot avoid.
