I think it is somewhere near the foreign affairs office.
BTW the sculpture looks like a devil coming out from the earth… don’t they have anything beautiful to put on the roundabouts?

Dude – what!? Have the Illuminati arrived in town with all these scary-looking, “meaningful” sculptures?
It’s weird but most of them just look like… vulgar gestures, devils, pieces-of-crap… and I DON’T THINK it’s a Rorschach effect I’m having!
Hold on – may be *this* is aboriginal Kolachi art (I can see a boat riding a wave – after discarding much else that came forth in the mind). Whatever. The Schon Circle sculpture too. Weird. I can never make anything of it without being embarrassed of “what am I thinking!” I think of it as a rude cartoon and actually quite stupid.
This is coming from someone who knows art and symbols.

Jawaid Bachani is RIGHT

Jawaid is RIGHT ! It is the crossing at Boat Basin, Road coming from KPT Underpass (former schon circle) One road goes left to Shereen Jinnah Round About, Straight one heads for Mai Kolachi By Bass & vice versa.
This was easy. You have St Michael’s to the left of this, and Boat Basin to the right…I pass by this everyday.

@Jamash, yah man you r right “seems like devil is coming out of earth” loll
@Jawaid, WTC in Khi ?? are you kidding ?
@Zainub, Since many comments have already been made … so it becomes obvious that it would definitely be that place, wonder if you can guess correct atleast once … before others :(
…as to who the artist is…it has to be the bhanja bhatija [or bhanji bhatiji] of some ‘power that is’…doubt a real [but unknown] artist would otherwise be so honoured….. correct me if im wrong!
@Mansoor,Umar….Thanks buddies! its mighty nice of you to acknowledge my hidden and archived genius…..after watching the whole city burn today you may have realised why i don’t show off my inherent abilities more often….lol

Boat Basin for sure..!
Boat Basin
Boat Basin — the chowrangi from where you turn towards Mr Old Books…aagey jaa kar BarBQ tonight aata hai…

question should be
“why the hell in Karachi”
This is some ugly sculpture….
Wherever it is, its ugly.
Its boatbasin round about!
Jawad is right!
The question should have been; “Do The city & the people deserve such ugly looking piece of art.
you guys are missing the point….this symbolizes the fighting spirit…look again and admire…
Boat Basin’s re-re-re-re-constructed, at times jammed to the teeth roundabout……….
just about everybody guessed right. it is the boat basin roundabout.
and LOL @ devil coming out of the earth!! the sculpture symbolizes the never-giving-up spirit of the city through a boat fighting the rough seas.
wasiq: for the first time in a long time actually made a sensible comment! there should be a round of applause just for that :D
**Standing ovasion for Wasiq**
what is it anyway?
if it’s an art installation then who’s the artist? if not then is it from public or private sector?
…as to who the artist is…it has to be the bhanja bhatija [or bhanji bhatiji] of some ‘power that is’…doubt a real [but unknown] artist would otherwise be so honoured….. correct me if im wrong!
