- dystroy 2y agoIf you look at the article, you'll see the picture of such sculpture (a rather impressive one, by the way).
- m463 2y agoI didn't see that, are you talking about the bird's leg?
- akovaski 2y agoThe last image is a pair of pictures of Needle Tower and Needle Tower II, which you can search for if the image doesn't load in the article for you.
- m463 2y agooh sorry, I read the article, then switched to the paper https://hal.science/hal-04287433/file/Version%20HALL.pdf https://hal.science/hal-04287433/file/Version%20HALL.pdf
