Sculptor Hussaini uses his fingers to wipe a sculpture of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha, made from 11 litres of frozen blood, in Chennai, India on February 23. The sculpture, made from 6.5 litres of Hussaini's own blood siphoned every three months for the past eight years, as well as 4.5 litres of donated blood, was created to celebrate Jayalalitha's 65th birthday, which will take place on Sunday.
