Re: Giant Symbolic Statue for Preah Sihanouk Province
The giant statues are lit up and ready to welcome guests to the province, and all is looking clean and beautiful for the Sea Festival in Sihanoukville, which begins today, Friday, 9 December, 2022.
It would be nice to see Sihanoukville looking so clean and cared for all year round.

“Neither I nor anyone else in our whole nation – nobody – has ever attempted such a large sculpture project,” copper sculptor and owner of Norak Singh Handicrafts tells the The Post.

It was smelted in China from a mold. Presumably based on a CAD design
It is good looking though

It was designed by Cambodian architects. Sculpt = to create solid objects that represent a thing, person, idea, etc. out of a material such as wood, clay, metal, or stone (Cambridge Dictionary). The fact that some fabrication was done in China does not mean it was not sculpted. A maquette would have been made first and then the moulds would be made to scale from the maquette.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 12:21 pmHowever he didn't sculpt it, did he?CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 3:38 pm

https://www.phnompenhpost.com/lifestyle ... c-monumentThe copper sculptor found himself working late into the night on many occasions until they had moulds completed for all of the parts of the enormous statues. The moulds were then shipped to a foundry in China that his company had partnered with who would do the actual pouring of the molten copper into them.
Here's a sculpture: Angel of the North by Antony Gormley. Do you imagine that Gormley actually hammered and welded all that metal himself? Or do you think it wasn't sculpted because Hartlepool Steel Fabrications Ltd fabricated it?
Silence, exile, and cunning.
