Artur Bordalo is a Portuguese artist who makes incredibly unique pieces…out of garbage. Bordalo has a series of pieces called “Big Trash Animals” that is meant to call attention to pollution and the dangers of harming the environment.

He hunts down materials that are dumped on the street, and I think it’s safe to say he puts them to excellent use.

Let’s take a look at Bordalo’s work.
