AFTERLIFE IDENTITY
STEPHEN SALIBA
Medium: Stoneware, bone on acrylic sheet
Size: 50x60x15cm
Year: 2022
Artwork Description: Through this piece the artist questions the nature of our existence in the eventuality of the afterlife. Would humans retain their respective individual identities after death, or would we become indistinguishable even to our dearest ones? Using a real bone and a series of stoneware shapes, the artist provides an abstract composition alluding to the concept of death and the relationship between the entities. Each piece is in fact a sculpture in itself ultimately contributing to the final art piece.
