Muhammad Ali Sculpture Made of 1,300 Speed Bags







"using 1,300 punching bags, 6.5 miles of stainless steel cable, and 2,500 pounds of aluminum pipe to construct a 22-foot-high installation that took three years to complete" By artist Michael Kalish.
"The idea for the project came to Kalish as he was falling asleep one night in 2008: an array of custom-made, teardrop-shaped speed bags suspended in midair that, from just one vantage point, align themselves like pixels into an image of Ali's face."


This is a really interesting art work as you can see..
A good artist can turn anything into a nice art.
I really like it.. at the other side you can't even tell what it is.. 
but when you see it from the front it's actually Ali's face.
don't you think that Michael Kalish is very creative?
