After a few days, when the metal cooled down, the cylindrical structure is opened: destroying the refractory material moulds, the statue is extracted in its raw format and bears resemblance to a mechanical tangle. With the use of pliers, elements of the structure are chopped out and the last melting scars are removed: the \u2018scabs\u2019 and \u2018smear\u2019.
