Wire composed of galvanised stainless steel made up the sculpture. The building of it required the usage of more than 100 kilometres of such wire.
The sculpture celebrates Pakistani women who defy stereotypes. People from all across the nation visited to view it because of the extensive media coverage it received.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) moved quickly to organize crews following the regrettable incident in order to return the sculpture to its rightful location.
You might remember that the legendary artist Harfan, whose works were displayed in public spaces, donated this sculpture of a Greek archer. It took 73 days to finish, weighed 150 kg, and stood 8.6 feet tall. The sculpture honours the courageous women in our culture.
