The Knife Angel is a powerful sculpture created by British artist Alfie Bradley. It was constructed entirely from confiscated and surrendered knives collected from across the United Kingdom. The sculpture stands at over 25 feet tall and represents an angelic figure made out of around 100,000 knives. The Knife Angel was unveiled in 2017 in the city of Coventry, serving as a memorial and a symbol to raise awareness about the devastating consequences of knife crime and violence. The artwork aims to encourage dialogue and promote efforts to address the issues surrounding knife crime and its impact on communities.
