Real Size Giants Hidden in a Belgium Forest
If you are interested in giants in movies and folk tales, well then you must have to visit Belgium’s De Schorre Park. The real experience of seeing a giant can be taken by visiting the forest as there hide seven real-sized wood giants in this forest.
Thomas Dambo is the talented Danish artist behind these massive creatures and he was able to finish the seven creatures within 25 weeks with the help of a crew of 15 people. The size of the Giants is ranged from 23 to 59 feet big.
The giants are made with dried wooden pallets, branches and sticks have taken by discarded recycled wood taken from trees.
Thomas Dambo is world-famous for his projects as he is using trashed and recycled waste materials for his projects.
Thomas Dambo has created the project “The 7 Trolls and The Magical Tower” in order to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Tomorrowland festival based in Belgium and he stated that,
“Since I was a child, I always loved to hear different fairytales and folklore stories, and dream myself away into magical worlds filled with dragons and trolls.”
Thomas Dambo Further explained the purpose of his creations,
“I hope to lure people away from concrete cities and computer screens, into the wild and reconnect them with the natural world.”
“I build all my enormous sculptures of recycled materials to show the potential in this precious material, which is often discarded and becomes a threat to the natural world.”
THE 7 TROLLS AND THE MAGICAL TOWER
“They were seven good friends both together and alone
by the river in the valley in the forest they had home
they had seen the sun set and rise a million times
the seven trolls stood as tall as the pines”
“Una and Joures were friends for life and like to lay in the grass
watching the skies crawl by telling stories about the past
Mikil was strong as a dragon and always on his way
Kamiel was wearing a mask a new for every day”
“Arvid like to carve his dreams into ancient trees
Hannes to put pearls on a string for everyone to see
and little Nora had only seen the sun rise around a million times
she was still a growing troll with her tail and young mind”
“They could see past the forest to where the future emerged
they had seen civilizations crumble and new rise from the dirt
they had seen the mountains grow turn to ice melt and burn
seen the fish turn to birds and seen the continents turn”
“And now they saw these little people with actions so great
It could break what forever and ever had made
And the trolls got afraid life should never be borrowed
It was meant to be shared with the day of tomorrow“
“So the seven trolls gathered up on a mountain top
To find a new way the old way of now had to stop
and Kamiel spoke up – we must help them get better
the little people mean good but they are too young to be clever”
“Let’s build them a tower as tall as a troll
and show them all beings are one in the soul
It took them all winter by summer it was done
they then invited all the little people to come“
“And the little people walked to the top where they opened their eyes
and saw past the forests the mountains and skies
they saw to the future with tears in their eyes
what they saw no one knows but the eyes never lie“
