L-awtur, flimkien mal-kumitat, ħa l-inizjattiva biex jitfassal disinn strutturali tal-azzar li fuqu nbena l-plancier, b’konsultazzjoni mad-disinjatur Salvu Bugeja. Ix-xogħol kien maqsum f’fażijiet differenti, inkluż il-bini tal-bażi tal-azzar, il-panewijiet artistiċi, il-guardrails tal-bronz u l-faċċata, u sar b’għajnuna ta’ diversi kumpaniji u persuni li ħafna drabi offrew is-servizzi tagħhom bla ħlas. Il-proġett kien jinvolvi spejjeż kbar u sfidi bħal nuqqas ta’ spazju u fondi, iżda minkejja dan, il-kummissjoni baqgħet taħdem b’perseveranza sabiex toħloq opra artistika li tixraq lill-pjazza tas-Siġġiewi. Fl-aħħar, l-istorja turi kif b’sagrifiċċju, għaqda u ġenerożità, ħolma setgħet tinbidel f’realtà konkreta għall-komunità.

Abstract: Dan l-artiklu jirrakkonta l-inizjattiva ta’ ħaddiema tal-Malta Drydocks biex jinħoloq sett artistiku komplut għall-quddies li jsir fit-Tarzna bħala suffraġju għall-mejtin. Jiddeskrivi kif dan is-sett, maħdum bl-idejn fl-istainless steel minn ħaddiema stess, ġie esebit u apprezzat bħala xogħol ta’ artiġjanat b’valur artistiku u komunitarju.
