El Anatsui made Bleeding Takari II in 2007 out of liquor bottle tops and copper wire. These caps are flattened and folded and then linked together with copper wire. Antsui says that the bottle caps represent "the material which was there at the beginning of the contact between two continents." This sculpture, like all of his other handing sculptures, looks different every time is its installed.
