A giant Putin portrait is on display and it's made from bullet shells
(CNN)It's a striking image. A 7-foot-tall portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin made from bullet shells.
The piece is on display as part of an exhibition that opened in New York on Thursday -- and it's meant to be a sobering reminder of the horrors of war.
The shells are all from the 2014 Ukrainian uprising known as the Maidan Revolution, one of the bloodiest European conflicts since the early 1990s.
And the two Ukrainian artists who created the portrait fiercely believe Putin is to blame for the violence that tore apart the eastern part of their country.
