The Attilas sculpture, named after the warrior Attila the Hun, exudes power and dominance through its dark, aggressive colour and texture on the doubled exhaust form, echoing car modifications of the exaggerated turbo to communicate the supercharged power of the driver. The sculpture also subtly features the elastic band of a male underwear, hinting at its anatomical associations. The double set of horns of the Cyclommatus beetles at the helm and the weighty mass of the body contrast with the lighter, hovering Goliath.
