Summary
- A wedding dress designer sculpted a lifelike snow dress form in Central Park.
- The 'Snowmannequin' creation rapidly gained millions of views online.
- The artist used bread knives and hand-compressed snow to craft the artwork.
A remarkable winter art installation has captured the attention of New Yorkers and internet users alike. Colette Komm, a wedding dress designer from the Upper West Side, sculpted an astonishingly realistic dress form entirely out of snow in Central Park. This 'Snowmannequin' is located on the south side of Terrace Drive, drawing significant crowds and amassing millions of online views.
Komm employed a unique method due to the snow's condition, hand-gathering and compressing chunks to build her form. She utilized only two serrated bread knives and dedicated three hours to carve the intricate details of the gown. The artist later removed a snowball head added by an unknown visitor, emphasizing the piece's identity as a dress form.
The frosty sculpture quickly became a sought-after sight, with visitors actively searching for it after seeing it on social media. Komm even livestreamed her final touches, attracting a substantial online audience of 8 million real-time viewers who offered enthusiastic applause and praise for the work's creativity.
