Mightier Than Series by Ravi Amar Zupa
Literary Guns
Everybody knows that words are mightier than swords, but what about guns? As evidence of the all-conquering power of words, multi-disciplinary artist Ravi Amar Zupa created a series of steampunk-esque sculptures of weapons made from old typewriter parts. Even the ammunition is made of repurposed pen nibs, thereby once again demonstrating the power of persuasion over force.
