Chinese artist Shi Jindian creates three-dimensional steel wire sculptures.
Wire meshes start out as wrappings around cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and other familiar objects. When 3D mesh is finished, Shi Jindian carefully removes or destroys the object, leaving only its metal shadow.

This is one of the most amazing entries I have seen. I am currently working on a project using 2 miles of wire in short lengths and I am losing my mind. I can only imagine what it is like to create pieces like this.

Fantastic!
But how long will it take to remove the original objekt?
And how exactly does this happen?
I have no idea…
