The 'Trail of a Thousand Trolls' project by Thomas Dambo features 170 giant trolls made from discarded materials across over 20 countries. Each troll, standing up to 40 feet tall, serves as a unique representation of environmental messages. Dambo emphasizes the creative reuse of trash, stating that "one man's trash is another man's treasure." The trolls at Filoli, California, invite connections between humanity and nature, aiming to inspire environmental stewardship and deeper relationships with the earth. Their long-term outlook contrasts with humans' destructive tendencies, but they still believe in fostering positive change among people.
"We are drowning in trash. But we also know that one man's trash is another man's treasure." This highlights the potential of reusing materials creatively.
"Each of them has a story to tell. It inspires people to think of their own stories, what kind of creatures might live in their woods and make that connection to living beings in nature." This reflects the purpose of each troll's individuality.
