Metal artist Lee Sanghyeob creates huge sculptures by beating a silver plate, which is one of the noble metals.

In order to make a work of this size, he needs to hammer for five to six hours a day over three to four months. This work is his first large-scale piece with a large opening, and he used silver alloy instead of pure silver to get enough thickness for the curved lines.
