‘Transit’, A Life-Sized Truck Sculpture Made of Thousands of Small Metal Discs
Transit by Indian artist Valay Shende is a life-sized sculpture of a truck crafted from thousands of small metal discs. The sculpture includes 22 passengers, as well as video monitors in the mirrors that display footage of London, Mumbai, and Dubai. Shende completed the sculpture back in 2010 after 18 months of assembly and welding. He created the sculpture as a commentary on the alarmingly high suicide rate amongst Indian farmers. Transit is currently on display at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Mumbai.
