The project started as a creative experiment to transform industrial waste into high-detail artistic figures.
Figures Gallery Steel in Pruszków, Poland, is an exhibition space showcasing sculptures crafted entirely from recycled scrap metal components. The collection features over 100 life-sized figures, including representations of iconic movie characters, luxury vehicles, and pop culture icons. Each sculpture is hand-welded using discarded gears, chains, spark plugs, and automotive parts salvaged from scrapyards. The gallery serves as a testament to industrial upcycling and artistic metalwork. Visitors can interact with many of the displays, which are designed to be tactile and engaging. The facility is located within an industrial zone, emphasizing its connection to the raw materials used in the artworks.
