Thursday Challenge - "METALLIC" (Metal, Shiny, Mirror, Clothes, Cars, Jewelry,...)

A 'scrapture' as the sculptor Arzan Khambatta calls his work made out of scrap metal. This is at a busy traffic junction in Worli (Central Mumbai). This is what the sculptor has to say about this work - My most challenging project has been the Dolphins at Worli traffic island. I had just shifted into my new Sewri workshop, when a client came to with a proposition to create the sculpture in a time of 15 days. I was excited about doing a sculpture for a traffic island but daunted by the time restrains. I took up the challenge. I did the drawing in front of the client by noon the cardboard cut outs of the Dolphins were read. The next challenge was to get workers, since I did not have all the machines and equipment that I have today. Besides steel is a completely different medium.
The client had told me that if I am unable to meet the deadline I would not be paid. So my entire family came out to support me. My wife and kids slept at the studio and we worked continuously day and night until it was completed in a period of 13 days. Not only did I surprise the client and all my friends and well wishers, I surprised myself.
