Thomas Dambo builds giant wooden trolls around the world and hides them in wilderness areas and forests. By doing that, he hopes to lure people away from computer screens and reconnect them with the natural world. He builds all his enormous sculptures of recycled materials to demonstrate the potential in this precious material, which is often discarded and becomes a threat to the natural world.
Here are a couple of facts about Dambo's work:
- The height of the seven trolls ranges from 7 to 18 meters (23 to 59 feet). The tower is 17 meters (56 feet).
- It took Dambo and his crew of 15 people around 25 weeks to build.
- The wood is mainly old shelves from a supermarket, pallets, and branches from fallen trees.
- It's located in a Belgian forest.
