The internal structure of the statues will be made of steel,
similar to the framework inside the Statue of Liberty
and many other structures built in the last century.

Casting statues has always been very expensive.
Melting metal requires a lot of energy — even more so with titanium,
which reacts strongly with oxygen at high temperatures
and must be processed in vacuum or with neutral gas.
By forming panels rather than casting, we reduce costs
by a factor of 10 and increase production speed by a similar factor.
