Road safety: confronting sculpture shows human vulnerability to crashes

Working with a trauma surgeon, a car crash expert and artist Patricia Piccinini, the government organisation built Graham – an interactive sculpture that shows how the human body would need to change to withstand a car crash.




By helping us understand our own vulnerability, Graham makes us think about how our own choices can keep us safer on the roads – whether that’s by driving safer cars or by being safer drivers. He also helps us accept the other things that need to change to protect us from our own mistakes on the roads.
