See Artur Bordalo's 10m x 7m TRASH-SURE Sculpture of the critically endangered Sumatran Tiger at Gardens By The Bay

Artur Bordalo is a 35 year old world-renowned artivist from Portugal who travels the world to construct giant animal sculptures from trash.

Excerpt from the exhibit plaque: 

(Bordalo II) creates stunning 3-dimensional sculptures out of waste to remind us of our excessive and inconsiderate economic and social behaviours. Trash, the debris of our materialistic and over-consumeristic society, can be reduced, reused and recycled. One man's treasure is another man's treasure.

Excerpts from the ST article: 

Using more than 600 kg of salvaged trash including car plates, portable loos and a water slide, the piece - the largest upcycled sculpture in Asia - launched Trash-sure, a nationwide campaign by UBS and real estate company Ho Bee Land to provoke conversations on sustainability using art. Staff of UBS, Ho Bee and Ad Planet - which brought him in - approached various organisations for some of the materials for the project, the rest was sourced from recycling company Greenway Environmental. 

He works with a team of eight, several of whom he has known since his graffiti days. After deciding on a concept, they make a list of materials they need before procuring them from recycling centres, car workshops and waste management companies.

Like his other sculptures, his Sumatran tiger - installed near the Bayfront Plaza at Gardens By The Bay - represents a highly endangered species, numbering fewer than 400 in the wild.

To date, he has completed nearly 250 Big Trash animals, sculptures and murals, upcycling more than 115 tonnes of trash.  

"I can't change the world myself. But I think it's important that I try as an artist, to tell people about things that matter and which can make them better human beings."
