Wow, take a look at this huge wing! What do you think it is made out of? The clue is that it is not made of bronze like the other sculptures we have seen. It is made of stainless steel, which is also what skyscrapers are made from in New York City and other large cities. Did you know that the tallest steel tower in the world is called the Skytree, in Tokyo, Japan. Steel is a very strong and lightweight material thus it can be built very high.
