Artur created a Squirrel on the gable end of a building along Tara Street, Dublin, in Spring 2017.
A squirrel was chosen to highlight the plight of the red squirrel in Ireland.
Artur went to different areas in Dublin to collect the trash he needed for the Squirrel.
A ten minute film of Bordalo and the team creating the Squirrel in Dublin was made with funding from Bord Scannán na hÉireann.
