Recycled paper pulp, wax and rope
36 x 29 x 50 cm
The white forms resemble fragments of stone, bone, or relics, evoking both the human body and the effects of time and decay. Holes and voids within the forms create shifting spaces of light and shadow, suggesting absence, erosion, and spiritual reflection. Although the sculpture has the appearance of stone, it is actually constructed from recycled paper. Stone evokes permanence and endurance, while paper is fragile and biodegradable, destined to decay far more quickly. The work therefore holds a tension between the appearance of permanence and the shortness of time, mirroring the theological themes expressed in this transi tomb.
