I’ve never seen such a thing as a mural made of everyday objects such as staples but somehow Baptiste Debombourg was able to achieve this incredible mural of Icarus Falling solely with staples.

Here’s the artist’s website for more information and views of his contemporary work.
I’m trying to envision the creative process he used to achieve the human figure (maybe a paper layout that could be removed once stapled or a projection, which would be easier) and the shadowing (staples closer together create a more dense impression). An interesting puzzle to solve.
