This 27-foot guardian angel is made from 100,000 real knives - some still had blood on them. Created by artist Alfie Bradley, the Knife Angel transforms weapons of violence into a symbol of protection and hope.
The knives came from police confiscations and people who chose to surrender their weapons. Families of knife crime victims engraved messages on the wings, turning their pain into protection for others. Gang members have visited with tears, declaring that violence must stop.
Since 2018, this powerful sculpture has toured UK cities as both memorial and educational tool, proving that even our darkest impulses can become forces of love through choice.
