TO BE TITLED CONCEPT & SKETCHES
BY SOFÍA HERNÁNDEZ ROMO
Even in death this person is still a reference, a guiding light. Natural horns with gold leaf, 3rd horn made of glass and a led installed underneath, inside the skull to light it up.
Truth cuts like a double edge sword. The truth was too much but still set him/her free. Dagger casted in glass, mold/ lichen made with patte de verre.
Decendants flourish from what the person left behind, it’s characteristics giving the desendants a very unique set of qualities. Roots inside of the fractured skull and leafs casted in glass. Flowers made with patte de verre.
Someone controlled against his/her will until the end. Cordyceps all casted in uranium glass.
This persons lies were covered while living but are coming out now in death. The snakes and the mold cover and taint everything. Snakes casted in glass, mold in patte de verre.
We don’t want you too see, because we haven’t accepted death yet. We want our privacy. Hands casted in glass.
I was afraid of what you might see inside of me, so I wore this armor to protect myself from judgment. Casted in different parts assembled in cold.
The person that freed himself from all earthly things before passing. Mushrooms, sunset palette, gold leaf on horns. Meant to go on a wall.
Let us rid death of its strangeness, come to know it, get used to it. Let us have nothing on our minds as often as death. At every moment let us picture it in our imagination in all its aspects. . . It is uncertain where death awaits us; let us await it everywhere. Premeditation of death is premeditation of freedom. . . He who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. Knowing how to die frees us from all subjection and constraint. —Michel de Montaigne
