Description:
We can see, in the middle, 4 penguins. They are surrounded by cubic waste and themselves are made up of waste. Some paint stains cover the floor.
In the background, I notice a sort of slogan: "too warm for winter, too cold for summer" and some others words such as "Zoo" and "Prizoon" (prisoner in Esperanto)

Interpretation:
I think that Bordalo II wanted to warn us about global warming.
I can imagine that waste represent penguins's luggage; penguins were forced to leave their natural habitat because of too high temperatures (luggage give feeling that they are melting)
I guess that Bordalo II is fighting against pollution and global warming through this artwork.
