Hetain Patel Turns his Old Ford into a Fiesta Transformer

Hetain Patel Turns his Old Ford into a Fiesta Transformerhetain patel turns his old ford into a fiesta transformerWhen british-indian artist hetain patel was gifted a 1988 ford fiesta as his first car when he turned 17, he likely could not have realized the influence it would have on his artistic career, particularly in the creation of his latest sculptural work. patel has taken a newly acquired vehicle, with the exact same specifications as his now-vintage original, and turned it into ‘fiesta transformer‘, a large-scale construction mimicking the robotic alien creatures from the widely recognizable film and toy franchise ‘transformers’.
With the help of his father — whose appropriate occupation is the conversion of cars into hearses for funerals — the all red automobile is structurally reworked into a squatting, human-like figure. each and every facet of the form is recycled from the car’s parts: deconstructed doors are adapted into outwardly extending arms, engine pieces become biological joints, and the hood and headlights are remodelled into knees.
