Waste becomes form.
Zakir Khan transforms discarded metal and machine parts into monumental sculpture, public art and imaginative forms.

Reclaimed material, rebuilt imagination.
Working with scrap means working with memory. Worn metal, mechanical components and discarded industrial parts are reassembled into new forms without hiding where they came from.

Zakir Khan
Zakir Khan is a metal artist and sculptor who gives discarded metal a new identity through art. With a passion for sculpture and an eye for detail, he turns old automobile parts, machine components, tools, and other scrap materials into expressive and meaningful artworks. His work combines creativity, craftsmanship, and a strong interest in transforming everyday industrial materials into something people can appreciate. From animals and human figures to large-scale installations and iconic structures, every sculpture begins with the idea that even something considered waste can have artistic value. His approach is simple: find value in what others overlook and turn it into something worth looking at.
