Considered to be the strongest bone in the human body;
the femur, once carrying the responsibility of support,
now lies here. The glass like incasement attempts to retain
what has already decayed, damaging it more. This damage
is represented through the crack running thro the bone.
The resin also serves to preserve the femur from the effects
of time, highlighting the desire to make something last beyond
limitations set by the human body.
Carved into the bone; personal symbolism through “tattoos”
invite the observer to consider their own identity. The art work
itself provides a meditation on death and the ritualistic manners
in which we attempt to transcend our own mortality.
