‘Big Trash Animals’ by Artur Bordalo is a series of artworks that aim to draw attention to one of the world’s most pressing problems: Waste production. The overproduction of things like plastics and metals, a general lack of recycling, and the ensuing pollution it causes have devastating effects on the planet. We shouldn’t just learn to accept it as a necessary evil.
The Portuguese artist has had so much success locally in getting his message across; he’s now gone global. Bordalo scavenges his materials from waste dumped in the area and produces stunning animal sculptures to symbolize the beauty of nature and the waste materials that threaten it. Following on from a previous post, we now bring you his latest works, ranging from places as diverse as the USA, Estonia, and Tahiti.
