Artist Uses Discarded ‘Junk’ To Create Mesmerizing Steampunk Sculptures

You don’t need to tell Artūras Tamašauskas twice that trash is a big problem worldwide. The artist, who is based in Lithuania, is quite aware that few humans consider the effects of their actions when tossing everything from plastic bags to appliances into landfills. Fortunately, he’s figured out a brilliant way to repurpose what some might consider to be ‘junk’ into art.

The artist wrote on Bored Panda:

“I create steampunk art and use various antique stuff and metal details. I hope to get some support from you.”
