Car vs Art

If a roundabout isn’t left empty or isn’t planted, you will most likely see a sculpture in its center. But it’s quite hard to make good use of this isolated place and therefore most pieces of art tend to fail. So the question came up: What would happen if you put some of the most famous modern sculptures in this awkward spot? Would it distract the drivers too much and result in traffic accidents?

The result of this thought-experiment is a series of small-format, partially coloured indian-ink drawings.
