For the past six months, a group of seven Indian
artists has been working with discarded materials to produce replicas of
the seven wonders of the world.
Under the Indian government initiative that began in
August 2018, the artists used scrap - from a typewriter to a grass cutter,
drums to cycle rims, poles to pipes, iron bars to spare car parts - to
create their masterpieces.
Part of the Clean India project, the initiative in capital New Delhi aimed at incorporating waste to recreate the iconic structures.
Through the installations, the city, ranked
one of the world's most polluted, remodelled hundreds of tonnes of
waste into art pieces, which are now expected to be a world-class
attraction.
The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) and the
state-run Horticulture Department turned a two-hectare landfill site
into a park that hosts the replicas.
Situated in the Sarai Kale Khan area of New Delhi,
barely 100 metres from Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro Station, the park is
expected to attract thousands of visitors.
The park has replicas of the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel
Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Christ the
Redeemer statue in Brazil, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and Rome's famous
Colosseum.
