He Turns Junk Into Animal Art Projects To Raise Awareness About Pollution [View all]

May 24, 2015 by Amanda Froelich



The last time you moseyed past a piece of litter on the ground, were you inspired to do anything more with it than throw it away?

If so, you’d share company well with artist Artur Bordalo (aka Bordalo II), who has spent a good portion of his time creating art projects that aim to draw attention to the problems of pollution.




All of his works were built using end-of-life materials: the majority were found in wastelands, abandoned factories, or just randomly along his travels. Some were even obtained from companies going through a recycling process.

Damaged bumpers, burnt garbage cans, tires, and other discarded appliances can be spotted in his works if you look closely enough.
