Prometheus a sculpture from two years ago. Now I'm thinking Elephantman?

"From different angles, no clear head or foot, punctured slits and holes.. Prometheus tends to change its shape. Opening.. and closing…
Together with the constant change in light, during night and day and its geometric perforated shell Prometheus creates a changing play between shadow and light."

Setzkasten XL

Display case filled with toys washed ashore the beaches of Kure and Midway Atoll and swallowed by Laysanalbatrosses. The albatrosses were found with stomachs filled with plastic objects on both atolls (Northwestern Hawaiian Islands).

Realized with the help of Kure Atoll Conservancy.

[Swaantje Güntzel, Setzkasten XL, 2018, plastics, wood, glass, 41, 3x 31,5 cm]

For if you like 'em small and heavy 'Khong' with its 2.85 Kg and a few decimeters in size is definitely one to have to brighten up your interior.
Only one made, Khong is a box of which rectangular and angular shapes are pushed out, pulled in and cut out. Lifted on 4 small feet on 2 different angles give the impression Khong is "walking".
Through openings its top and bottom indirect light emerges

@curved_ruler if the parts aren't connected (i.e. linked), the mesh parts are just disjunct, no way of telling which is which

if it's an obj, there may be a #object demarcation between the LODs in the file that blender ignores

Edit: if you're very lucky and it's just the file that has them as triangle soup, you can try selecting everything, hit m and merge by distance (and pray the LOD vertices are far enough apart)
