Libyan artists turns the remnants of war into art. Ali Al-Wakwak, a longtime artist in Benghazi, has collected the chunks of iron, burned out jeeps and rusted weaponry from the Libyan revolution and turned it into sculpture. Above are his pieces The Ant, meant to represent the Libyan people (“Gaddafi told us we were insects, OK then, we might be ants, but we are huge ants!”), Faces of War, which is still incomplete and made from old helmets, and The Dinosaur, meant to symbolize the now extinct Gaddhafi.
