free standing art


Explanation:
"reliefs" would go under منحونات and i"nstallations art" "uses sculptural materials and other media to modify the way we experience a particular space" and therefore the focus is on the space. "Technical models" are restricted to "things and people". But free standing art is any work of art created in any material that you won't hang to a wall. This includes metal sculptures, stained glass structures, three-dimentional mosaics, wooden structures; practically any material you can think of. See the link below.
