I found this Installation art called 'Turtles of War' Installation. It was made by the French artist Rachid Khimoune. 1,000 Turtles statues were made out of soldiers helmets from different countries. I found this really interesting. It was finished on the 66th Anniversary of the Allied victory over the Nazi's. It symbolises the never ending horrors in war.

    I find that really inspiring! This reminds me of the turtle project. How long did it take Rachid Khimoune to make this?

      I can't find out exactly but considering it was 1,000 turtles I think a long time!
