Afterlife Transition
Afterlife Transition explores death as a process of material change and ecological circulation. A zebra skull is modeled in Sculpey over a wire frame, then coated with iron powder and plaster. Water and rust paint develop an oxidized surface, allowing the sculpture to change during its display. The corroded textures evoke the passage of time and the return of organic remains to their environment. Change becomes part of the work itself as the skull’s structure and surface continue to transform.
