I Turn 1000s Of Bullet Shells Into Animal Trophies Without Killing A Single Soul
I’m Federico, a Colombian artist currently living in Miami. This is my new series called “We’re at peace”. This series consists in freestanding sculptures and bas-relief paintings entirely composed of bullet shells that play with the juxtaposition between whimsical subject matter, animals or landscapes that are full of life, and a historically emblematic and lethal medium.
Once again and as a recurrent intention in my work, I encourage the viewer to discover, beyond the sole function of an object, an underlying symbolic and aesthetic reality where life overcomes death and beauty, supplants destruction.

The artist's take on beating one's swords into plowshares. Incredible creativity. This takes genius that is lacking in those that just go out and kill things with the same medium that makes up these awesome works.

I think a dove would be a good idea, seeing as they represent peace.
