Bicycle Triumphs Traffic (2020), a photo from Michigan, Midwest

Photographer's Note

Yes, I am back to Sean Kenney's LEGO statues. This one is one of my favorites. I wish they had painted its platform in black, too. For an experiment, I might try changing it to black.

This one is called "Bicycle Triumphs Traffic (2020)." When I looked this up in the artist's website, I was surprised to find out that the black LEGOs were tiny little vehicles representing a traffic jam. The original version of this sculpture was built in 2011 at the Brickmagic LEGO fan event in Raleigh NC. It was not meant to travel, but quickly became one of the most oft-requested pieces to display at art museums and exhibitions. In 2019 Kenney decided to completely rebuild and update the sculpture. The 2020 version is missing the spokes to give it an illusion of speed.

Hi Murat

Lol at the gigantic yellow lego bike dwarfing the tiny vehicles! Beaches are few and far between around Lake Van although locals do swim in some less rocky parts. It's water is highly alkaline so ask a local first if it is safe to dive in. Some lakes in New Zealand had parasitic amoeba and tour guides made a point of telling everyone to keep the water out of their mouth, ears and eyes.

Hello Murat,
When I saw the thumbnail I already suspected that this was another LEGO creation. The bicycle looks great and stand out so well from the dark background.
