A Taiwanese artist donated his latest work made from discarded steel cables to a German city Karlsruhe as a gift to celebrate its 300th anniversary.

Sculptor Kang Mu-xiang says he was pleased to play a part in promoting cultural diplomacy.

The sculpture was made from discarded steel cables from Taipei 101’s elevators.

In addition to offering birthday wishes to the city.Kang said he wanted to use the project to convey the concept of the power of unity, symbolized by the cables closely bound together in his artwork.

Kang will travel to Karlsruhe to attend the ceremony on Aug. 21 at which his work will be unveiled and participate in activities later in Berlin to promote cultural exchanges
