What lurks on the walls of Alcântara? It’s not a creature of myth, but a testament to artistry and environmental consciousness. This, my friends, is the Gecko Mural by Bordalo II. The Gecko Mural is more than just a splash of color. Bordalo II, a Lisbon native, is known for transforming trash into art. This very gecko, clinging to the wall, is constructed entirely from discarded materials, a powerful statement on consumerism and its impact. This isn’t just art, it’s a conversation starter. Look closely. Can you identify any of the materials used? Bordalo II’s work isn’t about shaming, but about encouraging us to see the potential in what we discard, a message as enduring as the Gecko itself.
