Iranian sculptor Ali Mutii, living in Van, transformed iron collected from scrap dealers into a sculpture of the “Van Lake Monster” in Van, Turkiye, on July 08, 2025. The sculpture, completed after long efforts and weighing 600 kilograms, was brought to the shore of Van Lake by crane, as it surprises those who saw it.
