Los patitos feos de Sam3

Sam3 is an 'urban artist' from mi querida España. His work is very notable becasue usually he paints HUGE murals on Spanish city walls.

Below are his patitos feos (ugly ducklings) which can be found in the Río Segura in Andalucía, España:



Here's his explanation in both Spanish and English:

Muchas ciudades repueblan sus ríos urbanos con patos y cisnes para higienizar de alguna manera esta agua residual visible. Esta instalación pretende “higienizar” la realidad de los patos que habitan esta agua residual adaptando la basura a sus formas.

Se instalarán durante una semana botellas de plástico flotando sobre el río Segura.
Las botellas tendrán forma de aves y especies acuáticas que formarán grupos y familias. Todos los materiales utilizados en esta instalación serán reciclados e intentarán molestar lo menos posible a sus habitantes.
Si el animal no se adapta al medio el medio se tiene que adaptar al animal.

THE UGLY DUCKLING

Many cities repopulate their urban rivers with ducks and swans to somehow clean their visible sewage waters. This installation hopes to clean the reality of the ducks which inhabit these sewage waters by adapting rubbish into their forms

During a whole week plastic bottles will be floated over River Segura.
The bottles will be bird shaped, aquatic species, and will form groups and families. All materials used in this installation will be recycled materials and will try not to disturb the inhabitants as much as possible.

If the animal cannot adapt to its environment, the environment must adapt to the animal.
