Eleven-Acre Art
US-based artist Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada constructed this massively-sized portrait, entitled "Wish" as part of a festival in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Rodríguez-Gerada plotted out the design, staked it out onsite by GPS, then constructed the portrait over a period of four weeks using over 8 million pounds of soil, sand, rock and other materials with the assistance of a team of volunteers. Click above to see more pictures of the installation from many different distances, including what it looks like on the ground and to read more about how Rodríguez-Gerada pulled this off.
