Atatürk Mask, Monumental sculpture in Buca district, İzmir, Turkey.
The Atatürk Mask rises 42 meters high against the İzmir skyline, displaying the detailed facial features of Turkey's founding father in concrete relief.
The construction of this monumental sculpture began in 2006 and reached completion in 2009, requiring an investment of 4.2 million Turkish lira.
The monument incorporates Atatürk's signature and his enduring message Peace at Home, Peace in the World embossed on the lower section of the structure.
Mountain climbers conduct essential maintenance work on the statue's surface, as certain sections remain inaccessible to traditional maintenance equipment and cranes.
The steel structure employs a space truss system to support the tenth largest relief sculpture in the world, measuring 42 meters in height.
