I like this sculpture Jalal.  

I have to assume the helical piece is constructed. Did you use some software to lay it out? Were the narrow sides each a single piece, or did you weld together smaller pieces?

Hi Jalal, I really like this

Hi Jalal, I really like this sculpture as well. The three different views look like they are from 3 different sculptures, which is fantastic. I found myself flipping between the picts to figure out which end "roling" was taken from, lol.

Great Work

thanks guys, it is hand made no software involved in it,i used 1mm 316l SS sheet, cut it in to 20 X 150cm 2 strips i rolled them in a rolling machine with a certain degree at each end til i get the desired shape, then separate them apart and start covering the gaps.

helical shapes

Lovely shapes Jalal,
I made a fountain work somewhat similar in 1989 with twisted forms,but not as tight a spiral.
I used a rudimentary jig with 10 foot cheater bars to force leverage and four people to help...It was in 1/8th inch stainless steel.

And the finished work:

I hope you win the competition...

Jalal,
This is what I saw first that reminded me of my own fountains.
I love the scale on your piece,it's so much more dramatic over life size. I wish mine had been bigger.
