Brief Explanation

The Life Saving Scarecrow was designed to tackle the issue at its geographical point of impact, rural India, with the express objective of reducing farmer casualties and saving the lives of agricultural workers during the monsoon season. But the Scarecrows function went further than grounding electricity through a lightning rod. As artistic sculptures, the Life Saving Scarecrows also became a source of cultural pride for farmers since they beautifully represented rural farm life. Therefore, the scarecrows were cherished not only for saving lives but also as works of art. Each piece became a focal cultural point for the villages in which they were installed. The environmentally friendly sculptures were even constructed out of recycled scrap metal.
