Although the statue can't talk, standing there can tell you a lot. The author is telling the past one by one. A series of statues, such as the Gaul who committed suicide in Greece, the Statue of Liberty in the United States, thinkers, Venus, etc. You can see the meaning only by looking at the surface, but not all interesting statues will be recognized, like? Knife angel? .
Knife angel? Can you still scream? Sad angel? It was created by a British sculptor, A Fei? Bradley, it took two years to make a tool with 654.38 million yuan. Angels? There are 65438+ ten thousand knives engraved with a name or a case. These names all tell a story, so why did Bradley build this statue?
Bradley, who lives in London, England, found it exciting to call for violence online, but he never encountered violence and didn't feel much about it until his neighbor was robbed and stabbed to death. Although the gangster caught him, he realized that it was impossible to call for an end to violence by arresting only one or two people.
He began to collect knives. Why would he use them? Because when you see a knife, the first thing you think of is it? A weapon to hurt the victim? So Bradley used knives as raw materials to remind people to put down their knives, stay away from harm and save lives.
To this end, Bradley contacted a man named? Put down the butcher knife and save lives? After learning Bradley's purpose, the staff of non-profit organizations are also willing to help him publicize on the street. I hope people from all walks of life can respond positively and provide some controlled knives to Bradley.
In Britain, many police stations have a box with some knives that people hand in voluntarily. In addition, Bradley went to major police stations, hoping that they could provide him with some knives for committing crimes. Although he knows it's a bit overwhelming, what if it's just an ordinary controlled knife, a knife angel? It lost its meaning.
After repeated lobbying, the British police can provide him with some knives that have been solved or some old knives that have expired. After more than two months of collection, they finally collected 6.5438+10,000 knives. In order to express the theme of opposing violence, Bradley first cleaned the knives and blunted the blades to ensure that the knives would not hurt people.
It took Bradley two years to produce from 20 15 to 20 17. Sad? Knife angel? Finally finished? Angels? Except for the face and hands, all other parts are made of knives. The most difficult part is the making of wings, because wings are the most glamorous part of angels, and people often pay attention to angels from wings.
So Bradley used all the knives of the crime on his wings and engraved the identity information of each victim. After the building was completed, Bradley began to collect petitions online, hoping to put the building? Knife angel? In the famous Trafalgar Square.
Although there are a large number of joint names, the British government is still relatively conservative. After all, the 65438+ 10,000-person knife square is really unsafe, and it is easy for people with ulterior motives to make a fuss.
