Fore Story
Made it form old window glasses I wanted to turn this street rubbish to something amazing. It is my first sculpture from recycled material. I decide to make a dead face which is frozen forever. Then I started thinking of what is to be on the North Pole? Uninhabitable place, or if there is people they are may be freezing from cold. I imagined myself in the trap of “white dead”, where if you relax for a sleep, you will not wake up again. My fear created the idea and took this fear outside of me. Only a God can survive there , he can be frozen but it is not dead. He will be my perfect symbol of a victory with the white dead. |
