Shai Zakai is a photographer, artist, and ecological activist.[1]

Her most well known piece of art is 'Concrete Creek', a three-year project starting in 1999 documenting the cleanup of a concrete polluted creek in the Valley of Elah. The piece includes video and photo documentary of the cleanup and sculpture created from the cleaned up waste.[2][3]

Zakai founded the Israeli Forum for Ecological Art in 1999 to encourage the development of ecological art in Israel and the rest of the world.[4][5]
