Indian Artists Transform Scrap Cars into Remarkable Works of Art

If you know Take My Scrap Car, you’ll know how strongly we oppose waste of any kind. We understand that every car eventually reaches the end of its usable life, for this doesn’t mean there isn’t any life left in it.

…you just have to dig a little deeper than the surface.

That’s precisely what a group of seven artists from India have been doing for the past six months, creating magnificent works of art from scrap. Using vast quantities of spare car parts, bicycle parts and bits and pieces from all over the place, they’ve produced a series of replicas of some of the world’s most iconic structures and monuments.

Part of the Clean India project, the artists set about taking ‘waste’ products and using them to create something beautiful. Organised in New Delhi - one of the most polluted cities in the world - the initiative is designed to draw awareness to the importance of environmental focus for current and future generations alike.

Hundreds of tons of scrap parts and components were used to create a variety of imposing structures, which have since been installed at a city park where they will be displayed indefinitely. The team behind the project used 100% scrap cars to create copies of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Statue of Liberty, of the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal and more.

Along with critical acclaim from environmental and artistic groups alike, the team responsible for the structures has earned the prize of thousands of locals. The sculptures are expected to bring thousands of tourists into the area following the official opening of the attraction this month.
