@pinatravels: This art installation called Half Rabbit is in Gaia, the city across the Duoro River from Porto. Save this post if you'd like to see it while visiting Portugal! It's a massive rabbit sculpture made from recycled materials and trash collected from the city. It's really incredible to see, I was honestly mesmerized by how beautiful it is. But, Portuguese artist Bordallo II (who often creates animal art using repurposed materials), created Half Rabbit as a critique of society’s wastefulness and its consequences for the natural environment. The installation is placed on the building so that the rabbit looks like it's folded in two, with one half multicolored and bright, and the other half unpainted, hence the name “Half Rabbit.” Scraps of metal, old street signs, and plastic containers are some of the materials that you can see create the rabbit’s face and whiskers #halfrabbit #bordalloii #portugalstreetart #portotips
