Animal Sculptures Made of Ocean Debris by Gilles Cenazandotti

Artist Gilles Cenazandotti collects plastic debris washed ashore and creates a bestiary of recycled waste animals.

Cenazandotti:

"Impressed by everything that the Sea, in turn, rejects and transforms, on the beaches I harvest the products derived from petroleum and its industry. The choice of animals that are part of the endangered species completes this process. In covering these animals with a new skin harvested from the banks of the Sea, I hope to draw attention to this possible metamorphosis - to create a trompe l'oeil of a modified reality."
