We have introduced you to wood sculptures, scrap metal sculptures, and wire sculptures, so the time has come to reveal you our new favorites; aluminum cans sculptures made by Detroit-born sculptor Noah Deledda.

To make these unique pieces of art, Deledda uses plain aluminum cans and then dents them into elaborate geometrical shapes.

“Through sculpture I try to create something unique out of an ordinary object.” – Deledda explains his work. “In this case, a common disposable object. The technique itself also embodies this theme of elevation by implementing the incidental gestures of disposal, the ‘scratch, dent and crease.’ Through artistic principles these actions are re-imagined.”

The artist regularly documents the process of making his aluminum cans sculptures through images and videos posted on Instagram. You can check some of them below.
