"Der „Schweissdissi“, ein Wahrzeichen der Stadt, war zweifellos eine leichte Wahl für den Künstler, da er ein Symbol für die reiche industrielle Vergangenheit der Stadt des Bollwerk-Turms ist. Die sitzende Haltung des Mannes symbolisiert die Arbeitslosigkeit (Auflassung der großen Manufakturen Mülhausens). Die Skulptur ist größtenteils aus Automobilteilen gefertigt, die von einer Recycling-Firma zur Verfügung gestellt wurden und aus altem Werkzeug, das bei Yves Carrey im Atelier herumlag. "

"The "Schweissdissi", a symbol of the city, undoubtedly was an easy choice for the artist, because it is a symbol of the rich industrial past of the city of Bulwark Tower. The man sitting posture symbolizes unemployment (conveyance of large manufacturers of Mulhouse). The sculpture is mostly made of automobile parts, which were provided by a recycling company for disposal and of old tools, lying around at Yves Carrey in the studio."
