“I chose to be involved in this project because it sounded very interesting. I would like to participate [in] any kind of environmental protection projects. The hubcap is a nice material for my sculptures. When I saw the material, my brain started to work on design of my sculpture. Also it’s an international event and I would like to represent my county as a Turkish sculpture.”Cetin Ates
