Jellyfish, or in Portuguese, medusa, swimming near the waterfront in the Barreiro neighbourhood in Lisbon.
The heads are made like a collage using bits and pieces of junk.
The tails are rope and other long and string-like things.
This mural was created by Bordalo II (aka Artur Bordalo) in June 2022. Most of his street artwork feature animals made with this collage technique.

below: More Corine Forest – this time a bird on a page of of music along with a little monster character by Axo. Mam’zelle Nitouche is the music that was chosen (or happened upon?). This is a vaudeville-opérette in three acts composed by in 1883 Hervé (aka Louis-Auguste Florimond Ronger (1825-1892)).
On the bottom – a dove in a heart shape full of white cursive love. “Go Love Anybody Anywhere Anytime”. A little saccharine but sort of sweet.
